Hi Philip,

This very much looks like an environment problem. If you want to use the 
Python interpreter outside of the Mozilla environment then you'll need 
to setup your shell to use exactly the same environment settings. It's 
probably the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable you are missing:

Cheers,
Todd
