If you do a reinstall, download the ActiveState version rather
than the Python.org version.

I also recommend the ActiveState distro.

I am going to "third" Alan's and Tim's recommendations of the Activestate distribution; and further suggest that you use the 32-bit version, anod not the 64-bit version, even if you have the 64-bit Windows 7. Some Python extensions are built only for 32-bit Python and will not work with 64-bit.

I recently ran into this on two modules; one was PIL and I cannot remember the other. The easy fix was to uninstall the 64-bit Python and install 32-bit in its place.

I'm referrng to Python 2.7 above.
