corresponding to your Vim architecture. It is _Windows x86_ for a 32-bit Vim
and _Windows x86-64_ for a 64-bit Vim. We recommend installing Python 3.
Additionally, the version of Python you install must match up exactly with
the version of Python that Vim is looking for. Type `:version` and look at the
bottom of the page at the list of compiler flags. Look for flags that look
similar to `-DDYNAMIC_PYTHON_DLL=\"python27.dll\"` and
`-DDYNAMIC_PYTHON3_DLL=\"python35.dll\"`. The former indicates that Vim is
looking for Python 2.7 and the latter indicates that Vim is looking for
Python 3.5. You'll need one or the other installed, matching the version
number exactly.
