Startup failure on Python 2.5 - global name 'winterm' is not defined

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

(in the live console as well as in scripts)
1. from colorama import init
2. init()

What is the expected output?
Nothing so far, just startup.

What do you see instead?
Traceback (most recent call last):

    if self.convert and winterm:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Python 2.5 (MSC v.1400 64 bit (AMD64) on win32
(why does it state win 32 anyways?)
Happend on both Colorama 2.4 and 2.5 which i found here on issue page

Please provide any additional information below.
Everything worked before on Python 2.7 and colorama 2.4
(I have to downgrade since i can't find working packet capturing modules for 
2.7 ...)

Can't tell that this will fix the problem but just for possibility:

Try it with the standard 32 bit version of python. At least for me it fixed 
MANY problems.

Thanks for the bug report. Acknowledged. I'm long overdue giving colorama some 
love, so I'll take a look at this in the next few days, hopefully issue a new 
version if I can figure it out.
