PyGI install on Windows cannot find Python installation

Question

I tried to install PyGI with the windows installer available here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/files/?source=navbar

I use Python 3.3 on Windows 7 x64.

The setup started and said that no available Python install was found. The setup invites me to choose manually a python installation Path but even if I select my "C:\Python33" path, it continues to say "No compatible Python was found".

I first thought that Python 3 was not supported... and even if I select my "C:\Python27" path, no changes.

Any idea ? I searched for some information on this error, but I didn't find anything... :(

Please help! Thanks :)

I had a similar problem trying to install pygi. I believe in order for the installation to detect Python you need to make sure that Python is in your system path. You can look up how to do this or just re-run the Python installation again. The problem I had is that once I installed pygi, importing gi failed.
