What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is for the xy home window to open. Instead, nothing happens 
except pythonw opening. After some digging, I found that there seems to be a 
missing module to import from, specifically xyinstall. What on earth can I do, 
as cleaning and reinstalling doesn't seem to fix this. 

Please provide any additional information below.

Traceback of manually running xyhome.pyw with idle

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Scripts\xyhome.pyw", line 20, in <module>
    from xy import xyhome
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\xy\xyhome.pyw", line 33, in <module>
    from xyinstall import get_install_param
ImportError: No module named xyinstall

It's very strange, and other fixes suggested for similar issues seem not to 
have worked for me.
