2.75 Python modules not working

escha · September 1, 2015, 1:27pm

I’m unable to use any python functionality in blender 2.75, even though the console is reporting that the bundled python installation was found:

C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender&gt;blender
AL lib: (EE) UpdateDeviceParams: Failed to set 44100hz, got 48000hz instead
found bundled python: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.75\python

The first hint of trouble was that I could not open a python console in blender. Changing the view to Python Console the menu bar changes but no console opens. Clicking on the ‘autocomplete’ button gives this error in the dos console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.75\scripts\startup\bl_oper
ators\console.py", line 74, in execute
    module = _lang_module_get(sc)

ators\console.py", line 32, in _lang_module_get
    level=0)
ImportError: No module named 'console_'

Further troubles when trying to import the niftools plugin:

Could the problem be other python installations on my win7 system? I tried removing the %PYTHONPATH% environment variables thinking they may have caused trouble, but that didn’t help. Any ideas?
