Did you mean everything to work with Biopython (you said BioPerl)?

Installing Biopython on 32 bit Windows should be as easy as:

  1. Install Python using Windows Installer, e.g. http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.msi
  2. Install NumPy using Windows Installer, e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.5.1/numpy-1.5.1-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe/download
  3. Install Biopython using Windows Installer, e.g. http://biopython.org/DIST/biopython-1.59.win32-py2.7.exe

That should be it.

Those links are for Python 2.7.3 (which is the latest Python 2), NumPy 1.5.1 (not quite the latest but what the current Biopython release used), and Biopython 1.59 (latest).
