So, I've tried those instructions, stumbled and tripped and fell and gave up. I tried to stick with official python.org binaries, and ran into some issues. i then installed python 2.7.3 via the microsoft installer, and it installs, but puts it in python27_x86 which screws up all your installed libraries. And you have to reinstall win32all again, and because you reinstalled win32all you have to reinstall wfastcgi... anyway, I gave up after getting my python all patched up and working again. Turns out greenlet won't work unless you have 2.7.5 (no reason why) but Microsoft only lets you install 2.7.3 via their web installer. In any case, it would be nice to have an installer where it checks your setup and tells you what to fix, like an interactive installer / iis setup configuration checker. like so...
checking wfastcgi... installed. checking python 2.7.5.... wrong version! go here to download.... checking iis 7+ .... installed 8x checking...
