You need to run the aspen script from the Windows command-line.
This script is installed when you install aspen, I believe into
C:\Python25\Scripts. What you've done instead is to run Python
from the windows command-line, and then baldly assert the aspen
module (kind of a no-op).
Try:
C:\> python c:\python25\scripts\aspen.bat
Or something like that ... I'll get aspen set up here on Windows
and then I can help you further. But that should point you in the
right direction.

Yes, bingo.

No.

No. No naming restriction.
