Description

Duplicates: T33072

It is Basically the same as the Duplicate but I didn't know to which person I should write to reopen the ticket.

The Console output looks like this:

C:\Users\Wasi>"C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe"
found bundled python: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.67\python
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
File "C:\GitStack\python\lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 123
raise CodecRegistryError,\
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

To change the PYTHONPATH is no option to me because this variable is used by an other program.

If you set PYTHONPATH you have to set this to a Python version compatible with Blender.

Can you confirm that the version of Python in "C:\GitStack\python" is 3.3 ?

it doesn't seem to be 3.3 more like old 2.7.2

C:\GitStack\python>python.exe -V
Python 2.7.2

Python2.x is incompatible and has totally different API

Unfortunately the error happens within Python and they dont provide some nicer way to report the versions dont match.

closing.

But it should be some how possible to use Python 2.x along 3.x because I want to run GitStack and Blender not GitStack or Blender

To solve this problem and does not change the environment system variable PYTHONPATH, I created a batch file.
SET PYTHONPATH=""
%PROGRAMFILES%\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe
