No module named _socket, on windows

[louisJ]

Hi

I installed python 2.6 (from python.org) for windows XP, and then
Pylab.
When I type "import pylab" in a python shell it shows the error:

ImportError: No module named _socket

Any idea what can I do to make this work?

thank you

Open the Python command line, type the following lines, and tell us what
happens:

Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> socket._socket
<module '_socket' from 'd:\apps\python26\DLLs\_socket.pyd'>

I don't know what happened or what I did in the meantime but it works
now...no more errors.

Gabriel, for information now I have:
>>> import socket
>>> socket._socket
<module '_socket' from 'C:\Python26\DLLs\_socket.pyd'>

Thank you anyway.

Gabriel's post is thirteen years old and against a truly ancient version
of Python (on Windows XP, no less). Please repost your question.
Include the OS and the version of Python you're using, and a copy/paste
of the error(s) you're receiving.
