Well, that is the Activestate Python version then. I have just installed that one aswel, aside from the other python.org edition. I had to install it into a seperate folder as it intended to put it into the C:\Python26 folder made for the other earlier install. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it by default. Everything worked perfectly: I could run the editor, named IDLE, through the shortcuts in the startmenu. (which really is a .bat file that runs the python executable with the propper command line options) The installer took care of file associations, so I just had to double click on the SH4toStellarium10-ssc.py file. It worked all normally including starting up of Stellarium.

You install of it must be FUBAR-ed. Uninstall it as best you can. Maybe their site has some more thurough procedures if you can't get rid of everything. Make sure you install the version appropriate for you system and OS kind. Meaning, I have a 64bit install of Windows 7, so I downloaded that x64 .msi file (.msi is an installer package for Windows) You may need the regular x86 installer. Check that on the properties page of "Computer". Be aware that you may need to install it deliberately as an Administrator (Run As Administrator). But I think I am repeating myself now. This is the only reason I can think of why it may have malfunctioned.
