Strange behavior in Windows

[David Stockwell wxp]

my guess its your path.  I'm not familiar with IDLE but if you try getting 
the properties of IDLE, chances are its got the patch set up correctly.

in DOS you can try this to see what your path is:

echo "My path is %PATH%"

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
