Windows permission error, 64 bit, psycopg2, python 3.4.2

[Malik Rumi]

I am one of those struggling with compile issues with python on 64 bit windows. I have not been able to get the solutions mentioned on Stack Overflow to work because installing Windows SDK 7.1 fails for me. 

So I stumbled across a precompiled psycopg2, and that reported that it worked, but then I got two permission errors. Then I read that this was a bug in python (issue 14252) that had been fixed, but I don't think this is the same error. That one specifically refers to subprocess.py and I don't have that in my traceback.  I have v3.4.2. On top of everything else, despite requesting a new password, all I get from the big tracker is 'invalid login'. 

In any event, running "import psycopg2" returns 'import error, no module named psycopg2'.
