安装Python时出现问题

Question

I was having trouble installing Python 2.7 on my system and initially I thought it was because I had Python 3.3 installed first (which was working fine).

So, I removed Python 3 and started a fresh installation of Python 2.7.8. Though it installs without any problem, it refuses to run. If I try to open IDLE from Start in Windows nothing happens. When I go to cmd and type:

C:\Python27> .\python.exe

I get the following error:

ImportError: No module named site

How can I get Python to install properly?

PS I also have an academic license for Enthought Canopy. The problem persists with that too. It installs without any error, but just refuses to open.

1) Not clear if you tried to start Canopy itself, which is the final step in installation setup, as described in User Guide: http://docs.enthought.com/canopy/quick-start/install_windows.html

2) If Canopy itself won't start, check this article: https://support.enthought.com/entries/22508619-Windows-Canopy-shortcut-in-Start-menu-doesn-t-do-anything

3) The Canopy GU application does everything that IDLE does, and more, so I would recommend using it once you get it running.
