Hi,
Python 2.7.2 |EPD 7.1-2 (64-bit)

Those DLLs were compiled 32-bit.

I can compile the 64-bit, but I wonder how we should package them so the right one gets loaded. Should we put both DLLs in the package and have the DLL loading ctypes code determine it is 64-bit and use the right one? Or should we just make 64-bit-only packages and depend on the user to pick the right one? Can easy_install support this too? I'm not much of a windows python user to know which way to go here, input appreciated...

I forgot to ask, will hte 64 bit version also contain the
libspatialindex package in 64 bit as well? Or will that be available
somewhere?
Thanks,

It is libspatialindex that needs to be compiled 64-bit. Rtree is now just a ctypes wrapper over libspatialindex, and so there is no code inside of the Rtree library that needs to be compiled anymore.

I'll send you a DLL privately to confirm things are working before cooking up some more packaging.
