Two things to check, python version (sys.version), and sys.path.   Add
prints for the two of them at the beginning of your script, and try the
script in both environments.  If there are any differences, figure out how
to reconfigure Eclipse to match what you've got at the console.

-- hope this can help and save time for others too

Here is what did and works:
* copy the file mfc71.dll on windows\system32
* copy the same also on directories
* copy the same to your directories Python26\DLLs and
Python26\lib\site-packages\win32
* go to preferences : pydev : interpreter python : remove all the
interpreter you have there. apply, ok.
then add python 2.6 again, apply, ok.

It will do the trick.......|:0), ThreaderSlash
