bugs.python.org has several mentioned of this, the one I looked at seems
to conclude it's a problem with an environment variable (PYTHONHOME).

Take a look here and see if anything from this helps, if not, search for
other issues with the same problem...

Despite some of the comments, it should *not* be necessary to install
with elevated privilege ("as administrator"), the installer is designed
not to need that unless you want to install "system wide", which is
usually not necessary on a personal computer.

This list would not be the preferred location to follow up... maybe the
main Python list?
