Python 2.6.7 not initialing in windows

Question

I am trying to get Python to run to use with Blender. I have 64 bit Vista SP2. 2.6.7 Python. When I start python the command prompt tells me this

'imprt site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback <most recent call last>:
File "c:\Python26\Scripts\pypm-script.py", line 5, in <module>
Import Error: No module named pkg_resources

So, I opened pypm-script.py

#!python2.6.exe
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'pypm==1.3.4','console_scripts','pypm'
__requires__ = 'pypm==1.3.4'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('pypm==1.3.4', 'console_scripts', 'pypm')()
)

This is very frustrating, because have no idea how to read code or how to use Python! I hope this is easily fixable.

pkg_resources doesn't exist, install if you haven't installed it. If you have, search for it to find the directory. — Griffin, Oct 23 '11 at 19:05

The file pypm-script.py (and pkg_resources) come from ActivePython. You probably must have installed a different Python on top of ActivePython. I can think of two ways to fix this problem:

Uninstall Python, remove C:\Python26 and install ActivePython 2.6 (or 2.7), or
Remove C:\Python26\Scripts\pypm* and C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pypm*
