PyPy on Windows 7 x64?


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?


Solution

  • 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).
