It looks like pysibelius comes with its own Python installation, which is 
*seriously* broken.

What is pysibelius? I can't find it on the web. Does it have anything to 
do with Sibelius the music composition software?

It looks like the installation you are trying to use is missing modules. 
You might need to consult the pysibelius forums or mailing lists, if they 
have any, or the author, or possibly re-install it and see if the problem 
goes away.
