Installing numpy on Windows7 having Python 3.4

Question

I want to install numpy on my Windows 7.I have python 3.4 already installed on the machine.

Python 3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 24 2015, 22:44:40) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

For some reason the python shell says win32. what does this mean? I heard that you need to have 32-bit python for numpy to be installed.

I heard that you need to have 32-bit python for numpy to be installed. - Your source appears to be untrustworthy. — cel

It says AMD64, so you have 64-bit Python. You don't need 32-bit Python. In some cases it can be tough to find Windows installers for 64-bit Python libraries. However, in many cases (including Numpy) you can get the libraries you need for 64-bit Python on Windows from Christoph Gohlke's incredibly useful site.
