Tons of hits on that message, but not knowing anything about python, none are at all clear to me. Certainly though it is related to 32 vs 64 bits. Should I be running all 64 bit apps on my Win 64? I thought the app env had to be Win32. Please clarify what I really need...
CHIRP itself is neither 32 nor 64-bit, so your runtime can be either. However, external (binary executable, non-python) dependencies must *match*. Since I don't think there is a 64-bit version of the pygtk dependency pre-built for Windows, that means everything you have needs to be 32-bit.
Just so we're clear, you downloaded the 32-bit Python and the 32-bit (not amd64) pywin32, right?
If you just start python into the shell, what does your banner look like? It should be this:
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
which shows that the python itself is 32-bit.
By the way, I am not getting any of these messages except direct. How do I turn off the "daily digest" feature?
It's standard mailman, just go here:

And do the stuff at the bottom to set preferences. Note that since I've been copying you direct, the default preference is not to receive another copy via the list. I assume you didn't see Marco's reply, which was to the list only, in which case maybe the digest is holding you up.
