Do you mean, you just type python <enter> at the command prompt, and get  
the above error?
Please post the *entire* traceback you get - the first lines are important  
too.

Which "queue"? Which basic commands?

Try starting Python from an empty directory. Maybe you inadvertidly  
aliased some standard module with another module of your own (like  
"site.py", "user.py"...)
Also, try starting Python using: python -v
and look for some module imported from your own directories, not from the  
Python standard library.
