[pyngl-talk] Unable to import ngl

[Zilore Mumba]

Kevin,
Thanks very much for your info and hints. When I was buying the laptop I
asked for a 64-bit but the vendor gave me a 32-bit with 64-bit Windows
operaing system installed. I tried 64-bit Anaconda3-2019.03-Linux-x86_64.sh
but then python-3.7.3 builds fails.
I will try the suggestion you gave.Thanks very much.
