Help: python 3.3.3 (AMD64) scripts fail as non-admin user on Windows Server 2012 R2

I've installed python for all users with full permissions to all users
(see picture).
Python runs for all users.
However, scripts only work when I run as Administrator.
Running a script always results in an "ImportError: cannot import name" error.
Here, for example, is the output of "pip -h" run as an unprivileged user:

pip : Traceback (most recent call last):
At line:1 char:1
+ pip -h 2>&1 | Out-File -FilePath pip.txt
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Traceback (most recent
call last)::String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

  File "C:\Open\Python33\lib\runpy.py", line 160, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "C:\Open\Python33\lib\runpy.py", line 73, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "C:\Open\Python33\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 5, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name main

I get regular output when I run "pip -h" as Administrator:

  -v, --verbose               Give more output. Option is additive, and can be
                              used up to 3 times.

                              logs failures. This log is active by default at
                              C:\Users\Safe Administrator\pip\pip.log.
  --log <path>                Path to a verbose appending log. This log is
                              inactive by default.
  --proxy <proxy>             Specify a proxy in the form
                              [user:passwd@]proxy.server:port.

  --cert <path>               Path to alternate CA bundle.

I can't figure out the issue: please help!
