The installers on both this page: http://www.python.org/getit/releases/3.2.3/ and http://www.python.org/download/ For the x86-64 MSI Installer are both builds for version 3.2, not 3.2.3 (even though the filename says 3.2.3). I just tried for about 30 minutes to find out why the input() bug mentioned here:  http://bugs.python.org/issue11272 was occuring in what I thought was the latest release - then I realized that my terminal windows stated version 3.2, not 3.2.3 after several uninstalls/installs.

I think you're doing something wrong, either installing a different file than you just downloaded or not allowing it to overwrite an existing 3.2 installation. Both links have 3.2.3 labeled installers which I just downloaded, and both of them install 3.2.3 executables.
