A couple more questions; after you run the file once, is there a warning 
above the first >>> prompt?  If, after the program stop and you see a 
second >>> prompt and run
 >>> import sys; len(sys.modules), 'array' in sys.modules
what is the result?

If you run the program multiple times and get the error message, please 
cut and paste the whole message and the lines above, up to 10 or 15.
