Before Blender 2.5, it was required to install a full python 
distribution and then you had to set up some environment variables.

Now Python is provided within Blender installation, AFAIK. All required 
Python Modules are in Blender install folder: 
[...]Blender_2.5\.blender\python\lib

I have not used Blender for a long time, but I remember the environment 
solution as a pain. In Blender forums "how to set PYTHONPATH"  was a 
recurrent newbie question.

Hope this helps,

Luis.
