Thanks Mark, I have solved the problem.

When I followed your instructions I got:

----------------------------------------------------

This told me that pyclbr.py was wrong.  I remembered I had followed the
instructions on your download page and updated pyclbr.py when I had
first installed win32all, but instead of saving it directly from the
link IE5 had opened the source in the browser and I had used 'save as',
not realising that it would save it with the HTML wrapper.  My
mistake.  Once I removed the HTML it worked fine.

Thanks Again,
