Damn -- beat me to it!  That was going to be my next suggestion <wink>.

>and eMatter don't work with any version except the American.

An irony only you will fully appreciate is that the effbot (your book's 
author) was designed, built, programmed, and still resides, in Sweden.

BTW, one of the people who devised the eMatter registration scheme wrote in 
pvt to say that the need for the "kill the fatbrain.com registry branch 
hack" on some systems is now understood, and a fix is in beta.  People who 
have tried to program Windows before will recognize the true cause:  a 
system API that's only been implemented by one vendor, so is full of 
surprises no matter how carefully you study the docs and think you've tested 
your code.
