   Python Environment Variables

   Hi all,   
      
   I'm learning Python, and am running into errors that lead me to believe my   
   environment variables are not set correctly within Windows 10.   
      
   My setup is    
   Python 32bit 2.7.18 for Mystic 32bit 1.12v45a   
   Windows 10   
   Using "System" variables, not "User," which all the docs state to do, however   
   of course I read an article stating system variables should rarely be used   
   within Windows but rather User variables more often.  However, I have tried   
   both ways without success.   
      
   I'm either missing a few modules and or a missing variable.  The Error is:   
      
   line 29, in file "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\dateutil\tz_init_.py"   
   line 2, in from .tz import*   
   File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\dateutil\tz\tz.py", line 16 in import   
   weakref    
   File "C:\Python27\lib\weakref.py," line 14, in from_weakref import (   
      
   ImportError: cannot import name _remove_dead_weakref   
      
   So from what I've read, it's either a enviroment variable not set, however    
   c:\python27\lib is within the variables I set.   
      
   a missing module, however I'm new to the script language and while I was able   
   to list installed modules and match up most to the above, I honestly would    
   not know which are and are not "modules" just by the code.  Such as the time   
   zone function that keeps coming up above, (TZ,) which I tried to research but   
   was unsucessful. Dateutil and weakref are installed.   
      
   Lastly, they say it could be an out of date and or too new of version of an   
   installed module.   
      
   So ... where would you begin to trouble shoot the aforementioned?  What   
   Environment variable would glare out as being obvious that I may be missing?   
   Do you see any "modules" in the code that I may need to look for and or add?   
   How would I know if the modules installed are the correct version?   
      
   Any input would be awesome.  This is for learning, so no huge rush, just   
   looking for general guidance so I can get this script working and learn as I   
   do so.   
      
   Thanks!
