This is what I get (just installed 2.7.2):
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.hexversion
34013936
>>> sys.version
'2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]'
>>> sys.executable
'C:\\Python27\\python.exe'

So our hex versions are different.

  Directory of C:\Python27

06/12/2011  03:09 PM            26,624 python.exe
06/12/2011  03:06 PM            27,136 pythonw.exe

Wow -- this part matches up.

Not I.  Given that our hexversion numbers are different, I think you
don't have the current 2.7.2.
