For fixing this issue I tried to following:

1) Installed python-2.6.3.msi
2) Downloaded cp720.py, genwincodec.py from http://svn.python.org/view?rev=74000&view=rev
3) Copied cp720.py it to Python31\Lib\encodings
4) Run Python31\python.exe I got the following error:
---
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python31\lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 98, in search_function
    level=0)
  File "C:\Python31\lib\encodings\cp720.py", line 50
    u'\x00'     #  0x00 -> CONTROL CHARACTER
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

5) copied genwincodec.py to Python26
6) Run C:\Python26>python.exe genwincodec.py 720  1>C:\Python31\Lib\encodings\cp720.py I got the following error message:
---
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "genwincodec.py", line 8, in <module>
    from gencodec import codegen
ImportError: No module named gencodec

What's wrong? that's really exhausted! I didn't face this problem with any programming language before (I'm C++/Qt developer)
