body: <p>When I startup my python I get the following error:</p>

  <p>I currently have python 2.7 installed but this problem also appears when using the portable version. IDLE of the portable version runs without a problem but I am more used to the pyscripter environment.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to get rid of this error?</p>
