How do I install PyOpenSSL on Windows 7 64-bit?

Question

To get Scrapy working on HTTPS, I need PyOpenSSL, but I can\'t seem to get this to work.

So, is there a 64-bit version available? I don\'t see one... I

Your problem is that PyOpenSSL is not installed. You don't say, but I infer from your question that you have installed a 32 bit version of PyOpenSSL but are using a 64 bit version of Python. That won't work.

If you really can't get a 64 bit version of PyOpenSSL, then the simplest, and possibly the only, solution will be to install 32 bit versions of Python, Scrapy and all its dependencies. If you are feeling brave then you could attempt to compile from source for 64 bit but I don't know enough about PyOpenSSL to say whether or not that's practical.
