Summary: Pythonwin startup error.

Initial Comment:
On an XP Profesional Machine, I upgraded from 
Python23rc1 to Python23 final.  I uninstalled the old 
packages and installed the new ones (Python23, and 
win32all-155) in a different 
location, "D:\Programs\Python23".  It all seemed to 
install correctly, but when trying to start the Pythonwin 
application the following error appeared in window:

<Error getting traceback - cant import 
traceback>exceptions.ImportError: No module named 
pywin.framework.startup

I then decided to start from scratch.  I removed again 
all my python related packages.  I deleted any remnants 
of the installation folder.  I went to the registry and 
deleted the Python23 key.  I rebooted the machine.  I 
installed Python into D:\Programs\Python23, and it 
installed correctly.  I then installed win32all-155.exe.  It 
all seemed to go well, the Start Menu shortcuts were 
created, no errors.  But when I tried to start the 
Pythonwin application it failed again with the same error 
message:

<Error getting traceback - cant import 
traceback>exceptions.ImportError: No module named 
pywin.framework.startup

Interestingly, when I launch the following, the app 
starts fine:
D:\Programs\Python23\Lib\site-
packages\Pythonwin\start_pythonwin.pyw

But, if I launch the following, I get the error:
D:\Programs\Python23\pythonwin.exe

Christopher,
You are correct.  Your workaround is indeed a workaround.  
Thanks.

Ruben, see bug #804178 for a workaround (I don't know if it's 
really a fix or not until Mark H. comments)

Problem persists after uninstalling win32all-155 and installing 
win32all-157.  The worst part is that I can not open python 
files from Explorer.  I also notice that some settings are not 
saved, such as the one for showing empty spaces and the 
indentation guidelines.
