On Windows platforms, Python(x,y) is indeed the simplest way of installing 
a 32-bit Python environment from scratch. I always keep a copy of the main 
installer on my USB key: so far, it's been a huge help (everywhere I go, if 
there is a PC with Windows, I can code with a complete working Python 
environment in less than 10 minutes).

That's an interesting point of view. Thanks for sharing it with us: we have 
to take action on this. 

Cheers,
