I think that should be

           line = line.replace(x,'')

replace creates a new string it doesn't alter the original.

Sounds like the roblem.
What happens when you just type python in a DOS box? 
Is is 2 or 1.35 that comes up?

In either case remove Python 1.5 from the system, if 
possible using the Control Panel remove programs applet
since it will cleanse the registry too...

If necessary reinstall v2 after.
