py2exe 64 bit python 2.7 installation

Question

Is there a pip install for py2exe 64 bit that is for the 64 bit python 2.7? The 32 bit py2exe doesn't work for me, but I keep getting exceptions when I try to install the 64 bit version. I downloaded the 64 bit py2exe for python 2.7 from this site: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#py2exe but can't install it

The error I am getting using python -m pip install py2exe:

Runtime Error: This package requires Python 3.3 or later
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

Note: The following works for the 32 bit but I need the 64 bit

pip install http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/latest/download?source=files

I am running 64 bit python 2.7 and am trying to install 64 bit py2exe

Any easy pip install for it?

What errors do you get? Also, does python -m pip install py2exe produce the same errors? — NightShadeQueen

Yes, I keep getting "Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 even when I try what you suggested — Mike El Jackson

okay. Can you edit your question to include a bit more of your traceback? — NightShadeQueen

Are you using the 32- or 64-bit version of Python? You should use the a version of py2exe that corresponds to that (not the bitness of your OS). — martineau

I'm using the 64 bit python that's why I need the 64 bit py2exe, but it wouldn't install — Mike El Jackson
