Yes, last time a Windows installer was created, Python 2.5 was still in vogue. I switched things to 2.7 with (so far) no obvious problems. I eventually got past the pywin32 install hassles you referred to when I stumbled on the pypiwin32 package: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32/220 On the PyPI site, it does, indeed, look like only Python 3 is supported, but it seemed to download and install a 2.7 version. This is from my latest 32-bit build: pip install py2exe_py2 pypiwin32 Pillow lockfile Collecting py2exe_py2 Downloading py2exe_py2-0.6.9-cp27-none-win32.whl (134kB) Collecting pypiwin32 Downloading pypiwin32-219-cp27-none-win32.whl (6.7MB) Collecting Pillow Downloading Pillow-4.3.0-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl (1.3MB) Collecting lockfile Downloading lockfile-0.12.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl (I guess it fell back to 219 automatically. Clever tool, that pip...) So, I'm past that hurdle, and eventually got a successful 32-bit build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/smontanaro/spambayes/build/job/5pflj8b6t3qn0naw/artifacts but now I'm fumbling around with 64-bit (my holy grail, as most Outlook users are running a 64-bit version, at least based on the install questions we get on the SpamBayes mailing list): pip install py2exe_py2 pypiwin32 Pillow lockfile Collecting py2exe_py2 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement py2exe_py2 (from versions: ) That error message isn't telling me much about why the requirement isn't satisfied. The name of the wheel file suggests that it's architecture-independent: py2exe_py2-0.6.9-cp27-none-win32.whl Any idea what it's complaining about?
