Javier,

As mentioned, this is likely because directly invoking the .py file
results in your system python rather than the fwtools python being
used.  Using the .bat filename specifically should fix this.

This is unfortunately quite a common problem and is caused by your having
an older version of the MrSID DLLs in C:\windows\system32.  While a bit
risky, you might copy all lti_*.dll files from your FWTools\bin directory
to C:\windows\system32.
