Hi,

That's weird. It looks like you're using Python 2.7 (which is the right version), yet I've not heard similar problems. Looking at the open issues for buck and Windows, I don't see something relevant either.

Wondering if some of the other developers who use Windows are seeing this....

If you  haven't already, you might want to post to the developer group as well. It is at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/selenium-developers. Maybe someone there has seen this problem.

The command prompt makes it look like you are using Python 2.7. You might want to check by entering: python -V

This should return the actual version of Python you are using. Another possibility is if you have multiple versions of Python installed, you are getting some Python 3.x libraries used by the Python 2.7 executable. Check your environment variables and see if there is anything set which might affect things. I've often found if your environment is messed up, get something like VirtualBox or VMWare Player, set up a Windows VM and install things on the VM. This way I can have a Ruby VM, a Python 2.7 VM, Java 7 VM, Java 8 VM, etc.. Then there is no worry one installation is messing up another installation. I can also use different Windows VMs for testing different browsers (you can download Windows VMs from http://modern.ie, go to Tools->Virtual Machines).

If you find yourself taking more than a few hours to 'fix' your issue it might be faster to download VirtualBox, download a Windows 10 VM, install Python 2.7 and try building from there.

Many of the core Selenium developer team can be found on the #selenium IRC channel too.
