Windows 64 bit support for matplotlib?

Being a new Windows user, there’s much that I don’t understand… (please no flaming here…)

I’m running Windows 7 with a 64 bit OS. When I try to install:
matplotlib-0.98.5.3.win32-py2.6

I get this error message:

Python version 2.6 required, which was not found in the registry.

However, that is not true because Python 2.6 (64 bit) is in fact installed.

I believe the actual problem is due to the fact I’m trying to install the 32 bit library and there is no 64 bit library version of matplotlib.

The reason I believe that this is my problem, is I tried to install the 32 bit numpy library and I got the exact same message, but when I tried to install the 64amd version of the numpy library:

numpy-1.3.0b1.win-amd64-py2.6

The install is successful.

So, my question is, are there plans to support Matplotlib on Windows 64 bit machines?

Thanks!

Could you please test our 0.99 release candidate, for which there is a
64bit win32 python2.6 installer:

I have no idea about 64 bit matplotlib, but have you tried installing a 32 bit Python?
