[issue16119] Python 2.7 IDLE not working in WinVista

[Spiros K.]

New submission from Spiros K.:

Hello.

I intalled EPD Free 7.3-2 WIN x86 a few hours ago and idle script doesn't work. When i try to run IDLE from cmd (c:\Python27\Lib\idlelib>idle.py) i take the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 10, in <module>
    import idlelib.PyShell
  File "C:\Python27\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 9, in <module>
    import socket
  File "C:\Python27\Lib\socket.py", line 47, in <module>
    import _socket
ImportError: DLL load failed: ─ίΊ ▐ΪάΊ ϊΫΊάΪⁿ Ίά ίΊΪΎΏώ≤Ϊί▀ ύ ΆάϋΎ±ώ≤Ή▌Ίύ ΉΎΊ▄ϊά
.

My operating system is WinVista HomePremium SP2. Is there any way to solve this problem?
