I believe I have 'everything' installed correctly to support PaiMei (SWEET gui, BTW!); MySQL 4.12 (already installed, working fine); Python 2.4 (PaiMei works...).  Launch IDA 4.8, load previously analysed executable, popup error "IDAPythonError:  Error executing init.py","...idaapi.py","...idc.py","...idautils.py".  Out to idle, execute 'init.py', get Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\idapro\python\init.py", line 15, in ?
    import _idaapi
  File "C:\idapro\python\_idaapi.py", line 9, in ?
    import idaapi
  File "C:\idapro\python\idaapi.py", line 41, in ?
    BADADDR = _idaapi.BADADDR
NameError: name '_idaapi' is not defined

Obviously there's a discontinuity in naming convention, I've tried manually "grep/replacing" to achieve conformity, delete .pyc files & run again.  Still no joy, downloaded SWIG (as recommended by dyce), got no compiler...

Used IDAPython 0.8 & 0.7 (both Win32), running XPProSP1.  A bunch of youse guys (and girls I presume) are successfully running IDAPython.  What am I missing?
