I don't know Windows, but my guess is still that it's finding some other 
file called stat.py before it's finding the system library one.  Try 
doing a file system search for all files named "stat.py" and see what 
you find.  On unix, I would do "find / -name stat.py".  I assume there's 
something similar on Windows.

The other thing I would try is tracing the python process as it starts 
up.  On unix, I would do something like "strace -e trace=file python" 
and see if it's finding a stat.py in some unexpected place.  Again, I 
can only assume there's something similar on Windows.

Oh, and please don't post with Google Groups.  It double-spaces 
everything and makes your message really difficult to read.
