Then it's a distribution of your PC manufacturer. They could omit some
modules like utf-8 codec.

That's a right idea, I'd also recommend to leave the manufacturer's
python distribution alone. Do not remove it, do not upgrade it. Some
programs provided by the manufacturer can stop working. If the
preinstalled python was installed into c:\python24 directory, choose
some other directory when you install python from python.org.
