Maya 2011 Batch render // Error: NameError: name 'ssl' is not defined

[jand]

maya 2011, windows 7 64, single machine.

Hi there. Basically i cant get any batch render whatsoever going. I just get that error message. Maya software, mentalray, single or multiple cpu...nothing. Im no network guy at all so Secure Socket Layer doesnt give me anything tangible to work. The phrase "NameError: name 'ssl' is not defined" doesnt give me anything useful for maya in the search world either.

maya 2010 have no trouble batch rendering btw.

Im hoping its some basic network something configuring error but that stuff is arcane to me.
Any advice would gratefully accepted!

It could indicate a problem with your python path. whata does sys.path return?

Thank you, you got me on the right track. An old application had set the system environment variable PYTHONPATH to something inappropriate. I deleted it and everything works now.
