is the "re.py" file really the file you got with Python?  (in my copy
of 2.1.1, the import statement is on line 28 or so, not on line 1).

if you start the interpreter as "python -v", it will print all imports to
standard output.  check the output carefully, to make sure it's not
picking up the wrong version of some module.

for more clues, import the "sys" module, and check that sys.path
contains what you think it should.
