Zen Coding requires Python 2.5+ version in order to run (which is available in 
Mac OS Leopard by default). 
Please upgrade Python

Hmmm... I am using Python 2.6.
Do I need exactly 2.5 branch, not newer?

Doesn't work on Python 2.5.4 ether.
Seems some Windows Python related issue...

Sorry, wrote comment for wrong issue :)
Looks like a bug in my code, I'll do some testing on it

OK, my bad: abbreviations were not loaded and parsed by default on start up. 
Please update from trunk, this 
should work fine.
