Hi Timothy, I'm almost 100% sure that this is due to some misconfiguration in windows. Doing a Google search for the error message gave me this:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1913234#1913234 It is suggested here that the system root variable is not set correctly in windows. Another place where I found the exact same error message, is here: http://www.snapfiles.com/opinions/WinSock_XP_Fix/WinSock_XP_Fix.html It is from a comment for a software called "Win Sock XP Fix". I haven't tried the software, but looking at the traceback it seems obvious that this is a windows problem (C:\Python25\lib\socket.py throws the error). Hope this helps!
