I get this error when I try to save .dxf files in Inkscape:

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams

Then it seems to recover but it doesn't really recover. It saves the files and then DraftSite won't open them. Here is what the thing says when Inkscape tried to fix the saving problem.

File "D:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\python\Lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 123
raise CodecRegistryError,\
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Here are my computer specs if you need them:

Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2

Any help would be appreciated. I posted on another forum http://forums.techguy.org  but no one answered, as of yet anyway.  It is kind of weird because they answer everything. So I am assuming only Python users might know.

Thank you for considering my problem.
