Python 2.7 64 bit Windows installer

[M Hickford]

Is it possible to package a build for this platform? I tried `easy_install pyephem` and again after installing mingw but it still fails for me:

    build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\libastro-3.7.4\formats.o:formats.c:(.text+0x5f1): more undefined references to `_imp__PyOS_ascii_strtod' follow
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I take that back. There is one here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyephem/

I think my problems are because I have 64 bits.

I do not see any references to PyOS_ascii_strtod() in the current code base, so I am closing this bug for now. I hope you have subsequently seen success with installing PyEphem!

Thanks. I installed a package from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyephem that worked fine. There are packages for Windows 32 and 64 bit and all Python versions.

I tried building from source (compiler mingw32) but got some compiler error

> c:/strawberry/c/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.4.3/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lmsvcr90

This is no fault of pyephem. http://bugs.python.org/issue4709
