(FYI, I'm currently using Python 2.6.6 on Gentoo Linux ~x86, so a weird Python 2.7/Windows quirk may be involved here.)

currently using python 2.7.0 (32 bit) on windows 7 64bit (need 32 bit for other programs that won't run under 64bit python)
If I have time later today I may try to run the 3 programs on the vista machine which still has python 2.6. If I need to step back to 2.6 python would I need to completely remove 2.7 and all the assoc libraries then reload all the libraries with 2.6?
Following is copy of results in command prompt window when running various versions of kindelabra, italized comments are mine not the system's.
Thanks for your help.

much later in day - I took everything back to python 2.6.6 (32bit) for reasons other than kindelabra but still can not sort (click) on the collections column without python crashing. I can't see if the error is different with 2.6 because the command prompt opened concurrently with the 2.7 install but not with the 2.6. Maybe tomorrow, i.e. much later today, I'll try to run kindelabra from the command line and see what happens.
