App Engine Launcher throws IndexError: list index out of range

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When opening the launcher the error occurs. I have never before run the 
launcher because the error has been appearing since the beginning.
2. Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, Python 2.7.3, GAE in GA 1.6.4 python SDK

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "GoogleAppEngineLauncher.py", line 42, in <module>
  File "wx\_core.pyc", line 7913, in __init__
  File "wx\_core.pyc", line 7487, in _BootstrapApp
  File "launcher\app.pyc", line 53, in OnInit
  File "launcher\app.pyc", line 98, in _CreateModels
  File "launcher\preferences.pyc", line 62, in __init__
  File "launcher\platform.pyc", line 435, in PythonCommand
IndexError: list index out of range

So is 2.5 required, as in you shall not use 2.7 even though it is later than 
2.5 and backwards compatible?

Originally, I had installed Python 2.7 "just for me", I got this error.
After installed Python 2.7 "for all users", the launcher runs successful and no 
error is gotten.
