We are having a problem running Python 3.5.2 on Windows 10 x64 computers,

The program seems to install correctly,
Is Python installed on each machine or on a network server?
Rather precisely, how was Python installed?
What installation package was downloaded? From where?
How was it run?

The line is
import codecs
*zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'codecs'*
This says that the stdlib is in the form of a zipfile instead of the
normal /lib directory. I don't know how one gets that result on
Windows. It appears that the zipped library is missing the file.
On a Windows 7 PCs, on the same network, the program runs with no problems.
Same Python version? Same installation file? Run the same way?
We have no one here who is familiar with Python. Do you have any
additional information on this error, and suggestions for fixing it?
We have a teacher who needs this program on Windows 10 PCs for students to
use beginning January 3.
We appreciate that you are trying to use current Python to teach. I
hope we are able to solve the problem, given more information.
