What has listing symbols.py got to do with this? He said he has symbols.py. 
What is missing is symbol.py which should be in the main lib folder, not 
the compiler package. e.g.

 Directory of C:\Python24\Lib

02/09/2004  11:54             2,043 symbol.py
               1 File(s)          2,043 bytes

But yes, the conclusion is that his installation is botched.
