important (mentioned earlier in the thread) may have got missed: swampy is
available from PyPi, which means that there are several automatic tools
(easy-install, pip, etc.) available to install it for you (and presumably
make the details work properly.)  With very few exceptions, if a module is
available from PyPi, the proper way to install it is via one of those tools
and NOT a manual download.  The fact that you mention installing Swampy
from a download tells me you're not using those tools - am I mistaken?

For Windows users, there's pip-win (
https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/python/pip-for-windows).  It's not
only incredibly simple to use, but it's specifically designed for machines
with multiple Python versions; so (gulp!) I actually recommend the Windows
tool over the command-line in this case.
