That is odd.

Try using the full path to python, just to be sure: c:\python25\python
script.py -- do you get the same behavior?

Also, if you haven't already, you can run python with the -E and/or -S
flags (ex. 'c:\python25\python -E -S script.py'). The -E flag will cause
the PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME environment variables to be ignored. And
the -S flag prevents 'import site' at python startup. Regardless, even
if these are configured incorrectly I would expect the same behavior if
running a script or using the interactive interpreter.

You mentioned that python 2.4 is installed also... does it have the same
sys.path problem?

HTH,
