Hi,

Thanks for reporting this bug.
Could you please do the following and tell me what happens?

Just open a Windows command shell anywhere (cmd.exe) and type "python". Then 
enter 
the two lines below:
from xy import xyhome
xyhome.main()

According to your report, it should raise an exception. Please copy/paste this 
error 
message to help me figure out what's wrong.

Thanks,
Pierre

Please try this new xy plugin instead:
http://www.pythonxy.com/dl.php?file=windows/xy-1.0.7.1.exe

It should work, but please let me know if it works for you.
Thanks
Pierre
