This looks very much like a broken Python installation.
The module "site.py" is a very basic one

  python2.6-minimal: /usr/lib/python2.6/site.py

and should be found. Do you have a local Python installation?
What is the Python version and what is the PYTHONPATH

 #> python
   
   import sys
   sys.path

?

Do you get the same error on the Windows machine?
