I have tried everything recomended since I first posted, I am still getting an error stating: ImportError: No module named '_winreg' When I run: blender.exe -P 2.73\python\lib\get_pip.py to install PIP which don't seem to fix by just copying the lib from Python 3.4 to Blender\2.73\python . This must be in the C code of Python or Blender internals. I need the code back so I can install the packages I need. Just copying packages is not working for me, and others on various blender forums. Something broke between Blender 2.6?? builds when some python packages were removed from blender sources to save space, it most likely went unreported by the community. all help is greatly appreciated, a src PATCH I can apply would be brilliant. I know patches are made with diff but I have never used diff. Can someone run diff with origional python src and blenders python src to help me sort this out? I realy need the python install systems to function in blender. Why was it removed anyway? BTW, I am running Win7 32-Bit, and have MinGW w/msys that has patch v2.6.1. I have current blender and python sources. I have compiled Blender successfuly without modifying anything in Visual Studio 2013 Express, so Blender compiles fine using 32-bit. Also, I am not too sure how to properly reply to my thread so this may post as a new thread. While I wait for a reply from this list I will search the sources of both blender and python for the "_winreg". If someone can try to install pip in blender on non-Windows systems to see if there is this type of error on other systems maybe we can "kill two birds with one stone". I am following the instructions at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html Thanks again, Jorge _______________________________________________ Bf-python mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-python
