Please add "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\" to your PYTHONPATH in your system variables.

If there is no such SYSTEM VARIABLE, please create it:

1. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and select Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab, then click the Environment Variables button.
3. Under System Variables, click New.
4. Enter the variable name as PYTHONPATH.
5. Enter the variable value as C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\
6. Click OK.
7. Click Apply Changes.
