Hi all, FWIW, I got the following statement from here: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Numerical-software-on-Windows "Standard numpy and scipy binary releases on Windows use pre-compiled ATLAS libraries and are 32-bit only because of the difficulty of compiling ATLAS on 64-bit Windows. " Might want to double-check with the numpy folks; it would be too bad if numpy wouldn't work on the preferred Windows Python. Stephan 2017-01-27 9:45 GMT+01:00 Paul Moore <p.f.moore@gmail.com>:

The problem is not in Python packages, but when gluing Python with other Windows apps or libraries.
I would argue that anyone doing that is capable of looking for the version they need. The proposal is simply to make the 64-bit version what we offer by default, not to remove the 32-bit versions or even to make them less prominent anywhere other than on the front page.
