I have both python 2.3.4 and 2.4.1 installed on Mandrake 10.1 - and
only 2.4.1 gives the error.

So - have you tried to install python 2.4 recently?

Also, are you using a pythonrc.py startup file which is trying to
import the sys module? Have a look to see if a PYTHONSTARTUP
environment variable has been set to the path of such a file.
