Are you calling a script from the Start|Run menu, from a DOS box, 
or IDLE?  I'm not sure I can visualize what you're doing.  If the 
pythonwin interface is dying right away, then there's a problem.  
You might have a corrupted installation, dll problems, etc.  You 
could try the old un-installing/re-installing trick...

You might want to try the ActiveState Python distribution for 
win32.  Check out:

for nice windoze installers for both Python 2.0 and 2.1 (and their 
Komodo IDE is pretty cool, but it needs some horsepower to run 
well).
