Damn -- beat me to it!  That was going to be my next suggestion <wink>.

An irony only you will fully appreciate is that the effbot (your book's
author) was designed, built, programmed, and still resides, in Sweden.

BTW, one of the people who devised the eMatter registration scheme wrote in
pvt to say that the need for the "kill the fatbrain.com registry branch
hack" on some systems is now understood, and a fix is in beta.  People who
have tried to program Windows before will recognize the true cause:  a
system API that's only been implemented by one vendor, so is full of
surprises no matter how carefully you study the docs and think you've tested
your code.
