Failures of installed executables and scripts

[Clint Goss]

Hi All -

I am having failures in some, but not all, of the .EXE files and .PY scripts that seem (to me) like they should be working (based on their prominent location).

The merge.py and ttx.py scripts in \Python37\Lib\site-packages\fontTools work AOK, but afmLib.py, fontbuilder.py, and inspect.py fail (details below).

From any directory (\Python37\Scripts\ is on my PATH), pyftsubset.exe and pyftmerge.exe function, but fonttools.exe, pyftinspect.exe fail (details below).

Are these failures OK, or do I have some horrible mis-configuration (or mis-conception)?
