When doing the same call to execute idle as you, I got the following:

Can you try running C:\Python26\python.exe, and then at the interpreter prompt, execute:
import sys print sys.path import socket
and post the results?
import sys print sys.path ['', 'C:\\Python26\\python26.zip', 'C:\\Python26\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python26\\lib', ] 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python26', 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages'] import socket Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python26\lib\socket.py", line 46, in <module> import _socket ImportError: DLL load failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. ;-) :-(
I expect you will get the same error about _socket not being loadable, but I'd like to check. Also can you try just "import _socket"?
import _socket Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: DLL load failed: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
What is the size of _socket.pyd - mine is 44,032 bytes.
The same
Another thought - do you have any copies of msvcr90.dll on your PATH? I don't think it'll make a difference, but if you do can you try renaming them?
No I don't! Only in c:\Python26, in c:\Python30 and on c:\Python30\DLLs. Strange that there are two copies of msvcr90.dll in Python30. So I'll copy this beast also to C:\Python26\DLLs, and ... it works! I can import socket and I even can start IDLE from the Python2.6 Menu Thanks for your advice. Do you have an idea if this is a 'bug' in the installer? Why the differences between 2.6 and 3000. Why two copies of that .dll in Python 30.0? I'm rather happy now :-) Have a nice evening. (Here in Vienna it's already 0:51 am.) All the best Gregor
I never experienced a similar Problem before when installing Python.
Any ideas?
Not many :-(
One final thought, what is the value of your PATH variable? Mine has no Python entries in it at all - that's normal, the Python installer doesn't set PATH.
Sorry I can't be of more help, Paul.
