Do you refer to the py lib downloads not having
binary eggs for windows 64? 

hum. the only reason these are binary eggs is that the
py lib includes the "greenlet" C extension module. 
I don't have access to a win32 machine so i can't
try building it.  

however, py.test does not depend on greenlets 
so installing from the source package (zip file) 
should work.  i thought one could say "python setup.py
install_lib" but i am not sure - commenting out the 
greenlet C-extension in the setup.py file and
"python setup.py install" works definitely. 

if that doesn't work well for you please get back - 
i'll see if i can quickly install a py-0.9.2 install up 
without greenlets. 

best,
holger
