= Installation Guidelines: Windows - Developer (Manual) =

If you are a Developer running Windows and wishing to install Python & all dependent libraries manually then this is the right page for you.

== Install Python ==
2.7 is currently recommended. (2.6 works for all core functionality, but doesn't allow you to use the S3Cube pivot table functions)

NB 32-bit Python should be used even on 64-bit Windows:
