Re: [Visualpython-users] Help needed with 'import visual' error

You need to follow the instructions on the Windows download page at vpython.org:

First, download and install Python-2.7.2 (Important: Let it install in
C:\Python27)
(There is not a VPython version for Windows 64-bit Python, but this
32-bit version of Python works fine on 64-bit Windows machines)
Second, download and install VPython-Win-Py2.7-5.74
