John,
It's been a little while since I installed QGIS on my machine, but I wonder
if you missed a selection somewhere in the installation process. Can you
reinstall QGIS? (i.e. do you have admin permissions?) There might be a
number of selections you can make when installing, and my guess is that you
missed a selection to have the proper Python libraries installed. Maybe
there is a "Full" installation option, which puts everything on your
machine. As I said on my installation of QGIS, that code works just fine,
and I'm certain that I haven't done anything special post-install.
