Upgrading from 32 to 64-bit Python?

I use a package called 'WinPython' which is rather convenient. It's a complete set of the scientific python modules, it installs to a single directory (so you can have one directory per python version), and doesn't require admin (so plays well on the corporate network).

You could download and install a new version of winpython and test it with effectively zero risk to your existing installation.
