I'd like to put in a plug for Activestate Python here.  Activestate has a 
free distribution of Python for Windows that not only includes the basic 
Python program and libraries, but also commonly used extras including the 
Win32 modules.

I've always used Activestate Python from the start, and recommend it.

They have distributions for both Python 2 and 3, each both in 32-bit and 
64-bit.

I have no association with Activestate, I'm just a satisfied customer. 
Well, not even a customer.  I'm a satisfied freeloader.
