3.3.2? I do not see that in his single message I found. I see a 3.2.2 
release on <http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.2/>. Google 
shows me nothing for 3.3.2.

I see:
     * Windows x86 MSI Installer (3.2.2) (sig) and Visual Studio debug 
information files (sig)
     * Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2) [1] (sig) and Visual Studio 
debug information files (sig)

Visual Studio????  I hope I don't need VS!
