Hold on! Which 'kind of Python' have you installed?
The original message has this link:

The one that I used and is suggested in the latest tutorial is :
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/
The latest version is a couple of releases further, but 2.6.5 works for me. Your system is no doubt different so you might need some bugs fixed.
If you still use the same version and 'brand' as I have then your installation must be messed up. I certainly have 2 .exe files (python.exe and pythonw.exe) and some text documents in the rootfolder of this Python package. I can't remember if I forced the use of one of those .exe files when I double clicked on a .py file. I think it all should have gone automatically through the installer. Make sure you install the package deliberately with administrator credentials (rightclick on the installer, then "Run as Administrator").
[EDIT] p.s. I never installed the Windows extensions as suggested in the latest turorial pdf (the sourceforge link). I downloaded the windows version of the installer and that was it.
