Thanks Fabio!

I looked at my environment variables, and the only one python related was 
PYTHONHOME, and that was set to C:\csvn\Python25.  So I changed that to 
C:\Python32\ and I added an environment variable for PYTHONROOT and set that to 
the same value.  It now seems to work!
I must have had a some python directories laying around from an odd svn 
installation or something...

Thanks again!

Subject: Re: Python Interpreter Error with PyDev (Eclipse IDE)
 
It seems you have a version of Python 2.5 in your system and when
starting up Python 3.2.2 it's getting things from 2.5 (this would
probably also happen on the command line).

The usual suspect is that you defined a PYTHONROOT variable which is
pointing to Python 2.5 and not to the python you're using...

Cheers,

Fabio
