S S  added the comment:

finally was able to figure it out.
i had another product installed, which uses python 2.4 that product during 
installation put PYTHONHOME into system variable environment. 

as soon as i either change that PYTHONHOME to my latest python path c:\python26 
everything starts working.

I would suggest to OP, to take it with python-help for the problem to be fixed. 
It's raised on python26 as well. Highly unlikely that anything is wrong with 
Python installation here. Marking it invalid and closing it.

I'm not a Windows user, so there might be a better way to solve this, but...

Run ``python -v`` and see what it says about why 'site' was not imported. You 
can also verify that site.py is readable by Python by checking that its 
directory location is listed in sys.path and that you can read the file from 
the prompt.

Beyond that I am out of my element as it is probably a Windows-specific issue.

Brett Cannon  added the comment:

Double-check your install. Errors like this typically means that your Python 
executable is not able to read the standard library files. Either that or 
something got moved and so the files are not where Python expects them to be.

New submission from S S :

when trying to install beutifulsoup package on windows xp x86 with python 2.6.6 
getting the following error

C:\Python26>python C:\temp\BeautifulSoup-3.0.8.1\setup.py install
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\temp\BeautifulSoup-3.0.8.1\setup.py", line 1, in 
from distutils.core import setup
ImportError: No module named distutils.core


installing the same package with python 2.7 gives a different error about site 
module missing. 

these errors i am getting with any packages  installs actually.
