[FWTools] I'm probably being dumb, but...

I have a windows XP system, and am trying for the first time to run
openev from the FWTools package (version 1.1.0).  My problem is, it
doesn't start up.  I suspect interference with other packages I have
installed (I have python 2.4 installed, and various GTK based
applications including gnumeric and gimp.)  The symptoms I have are I
run openev.bat from the shell or the start menu entry, and wait
patiently with nothing happening.  Hitting ctrl-c from running
openev.bat in the
shell gives a traceback like e.g.

"Traceback (most recent call last):

    import sre_parse
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\FWTOOL~1.0\python\lib\sre_parse.py", line 11, in ?
    """Internal support module for sre"""

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
