Comment 6 for bug 535413

That is pretty weird. The version of python you have installed should not affect the executable as it is using the version of Python we compiled it with. Like mac suggested, try installing and running from source and if Python 2.6 doesn't work for you, I would try 2.5 as well. There are issues with certain libraries and 2.6 so I always tend to use 2.5 if possible.
