Unfortunately we cannot provide 64-bit Python installers for Windows at
the moment as I only have a 32-bit Windows XP installed in a virtual
machine. If you want to install igraph on a 64-bit Windows machine, you
have to compile it yourself. You will need the following tools to do
that:

- Microsoft Visual Studio Express
- A working MSYS environment (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS)
- libxml2 and iconv (you have to compile these yourself as well, AFAIK
  there are no pre-compiled 64-bit binaries for Windows yet)

I'll be happy to help with the compilation if you get stuck, so just
mail me in private if you are willing to give it a go.
