I know exactly how to solve it: Remove the threading plugin. There are 
some naming conflicts with this plugin and several standard python 
libraries. Your options are to remove it, or to change the name of the 
python file. If you would like to keep this plugin, let me now and I'll 
let you know what needs to be changed...
