Hi Ezra,

Are you using Mac OSX or LINUX or ...

If you have a preexisting python installation, it may be that when you launch 
python, it loads the older version, and not the new EPD version.  When you 
launch python, what do you see?  For example, on my Mac OSX, launched from 
Terminal, I get

% python
Enthought Python Distribution --http://www.enthought.com
Version: 6.2-2 (32-bit)

Python 2.6.5 |EPD 6.2-2 (32-bit)| (r265:79063, May 28 2010, 15:13:03)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5488)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
whereas, if I use an older version, I get

% python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84374, Aug 31 2010, 11:00:51)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
You need to get the equivalent of the first option.  If you are definitely 
launching the Enthought python (from your new installation) and getting this 
error, then there is a problem with the package build on your machine.


Andre
Thanks again for your responses. I am using MS Windows 7, and it turns out there was a problem with build and re-installing EPD fixed it. I appreciate the help, I am so new at this, I don't know if things aren't working because it is me, or because something else is wrong (I feel like a person who has known how to drive for years, but never bothered to look under the hood of the car). Anyway, thanks again.

Ezra
