[Qgis-user] Error: Failed to open Python Console

[Raphaël Lüthi]

Hi,

I am a new QGIS user. The program was working fine until I tried to use the
Python Console which just does't open. I hope someone can help me out with
this. Here is the description of my problem:

Operating Syste: Windows 7 (64 bit)

QGIS: 2.0.1 - Dufour

Installation: osgeo4w (64bit)

Problem: When I try to open the Python Console ("Plugins" --> "Python
Console") an error message appears. When I close error window, I am back on
QGIS interface.
I have already tried to re-install everything, but it didn't fix the
problem. I also tried going into the file and changing utf8 encoding to
ascii, but the file is protected and I cannot save it once modified.

Error message:

Failed to open Python console:
