Here is another possible reason (and cure) for intentionally installed python to not work. Just posted to Python list. "Turns out that another instance of Python was installed, not as part of OEM software, but by a digital camera (Califone) that is being used in some of our classrooms. The suggestion to look for environmental variables was the key - on the PCs where we were having the problem, there was a variable starting with PYTHON ... which pointed to the camera software. Once the camera was uninstalled, Python 3.5.2 worked just fine."
