Duplicates: #33072

%%%It is Basically the same as the Duplicate but I didn't know to which person I should write to reopen the ticket.

The Console output looks like this:

C:\Users\Wasi>"C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe"
found bundled python: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.67\python
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
File "C:\GitStack\python\lib\encodings_init_.py", line 123
raise CodecRegistryError,
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

To change the PYTHONPATH is no option to me because this variable is used by an other program.

%%%If you set PYTHONPATH you have to set this to a Python version compatible with Blender.

Can you confirm that the version of Python in "C:\GitStack\python" is 3.3 ?%%%

%%%it doesn't seem to be 3.3 more like old 2.7.2

C:\GitStack\python>python.exe -V
Python 2.7.2

%%%Python2.x is incompatible and has totally different API

Unfortunately the error happens within Python and they dont provide some nicer way to report the versions dont match.

Nope its not possible, its a limitation in Python, see

To solve this problem and does not change the environment system variable PYTHONPATH, I created a batch file.
SET PYTHONPATH=""
%PROGRAMFILES%\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe
