Or I could probably point out that 100% of your errors come from using the internet, and that if you had a completely stand-alone system, you could do some real work. You're blaming importing on circumstantial evidence here, and that's not exactly fair. Start by making sure you have Python 2.7.9 or better (and yes, 3.4 counts as "better"). It should come with pip already installed. ChrisA
