PyPy on Windows 7 x64?

Question

I am trying to use PyPy on a Windows 7 x64 machine but do not find any way to do it. Apparently there is a win32 binary, but no x64 binary or installation guide. I am currently using Python 2.7.2 win64 (Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 14:24:46) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32).

Installation from sources raised the following error:

[translation:ERROR] WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

Does anyone have a guide/hint to use PyPy on a win64? Or is it just not possible?

Answer 1

PyPy is not compatible with 64bit windows. Primary reason is that sizeof(void*) != sizeof(long) which is a bit annoying. Contributions are more than welcome :)

Answer 2

There's no version available for 64 bit Python on Windows. You appear to have the following options:

1. Download the source to PyPy and port it to 64 bit.
2. Switch to 32 bit Python.

Option 2 looks more tractable.

Answer 3

如果现在有人阅读它，请更新此问题：PyPy 似乎已经解决了他们在 Windows x64 上的问题，您可以下载 PyPy 的 32 位版本，它可以在 Windows 7 x64 下完美运行（我什至有一个 64 位python 安装在旁边，pypy 运行良好，我只需要指定 pypy 的完整路径即可将其用于我需要的脚本）。

Answer 4

64-bit PyPy now supports Windows. They wrote a post about how they were finally able to add support ( https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/windows64.html ). If you go to their downloads page, they have 64-bit Windows downloads available ( https://www.pypy.org/download.html ).
