I have installed python two days ago on a USB memory stick (I am on
the move and have no laptop.) I am on windows computers, mostly XP,
all the time.
Now, after pluging it in to a different computer, I get the following
message when I run pyhthon:
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
python -v gives:
