If Python gave you a "syntax error", there *is* a traceback... 
At the very least, there is something that looks like this:

  File "<stdin>", line 2
    from distutils.core import setup
                                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


What we need is for you to cut and paste *exactly* the message you
are getting from your cmd window into the email message, rather than
just retyping "syntax error".  

With that, we'll have some confidence that you aren't just talking 
about an import error, or an XP problem, or something else that
isn't really a syntax error...
