In addition to the above methods, you can copy the base folder and paste it into the same folder as reader_archive.py -- that's what I did and it worked fine.

It's in the \base folder. Set the main folder to be the Python root, as in the grandfather post, and it should be able to find it.

Thanks! For what ever reason, setting the python root did not help, but i just copied the 'base' folder to python lib folder and that seems to have done the trick.

I also had success (on W7) using this method. Thank you, mihaip, I am truly grateful.
