Strange behavior in Windows

[Jakob Svavar Bjarnason]

Greetings.

I have been trying to switch to Python from other languages such as Perl and now I have a newbie question.

I have been trying to run a setup script to install a python library. To do that I need to run "c:> python setup.py install" but the strange thing is is that when it runs the command:

>>> from distutils import log

I get the error ONLY while in cmd. If I run this from the interactive shell that comes with IDLE it works. But if I go into the interactive shell in the Windows shell cmd then I get:

ImportError: cannot import log

Any ideas on how I can fix this
