python imports suddenly not working

Question

I had everything installed good on my laptop. Everything was working. Today when i wanted to work with my projects again just everything suddenly gives an error on imports. It's not just one package, but multiple. The only thing I could think of is Windows Update, but actually I doubt this would be the cause of the problem.

I have everything installed in 32-bit since some packages were only 32-bit. I already reinstalled everything and restarted several times. I'm not very experienced with Python, so thats why I'm wondering if anybody with more knowledge could help me with this.

The packages installed are: CherryPy, Cython, Oursql, PIL, pywin32, setuptools

Thanks in advance!!

I just ran into a similar problem. Everything was working fine for a week, but today suddenly an import failed.

I found that in the directory of the module I was trying to import, there was a corrupt .pyc file. I deleted that file, then everything worked again.
