I don't doubt though that I will be coming unstuck in the not distant future. Until then, again thank you for your selfless help.

You didn't need to remove Python 3.4.

When you typed:

python setup.py install

it defaulted to Python 3.4, presumably because that was the last one
you installed.

You just needed to be explicit instead:

C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install
