I can reproduce the error given by traceback if I use a wrong path to start a script. But I cannot reproduce the syntax error. This means the source might be corrupt and the object file cannot be created. This may cause the import error. Because version.py and pywikibot.__init__ gives a rigth traceback message I bet on the wikipedia.py. Seems it has illegal characters on the first line or something like this.
Binariz: where did you downloaded the framework? I'll try to investigate into that matter.
You may use the path setting for compat or core release but it may also be omitted.
You also my use git or svn repository. I use it both: git for development, svn for the bot.
The nightly dump is also available which works without these version control Systems but it is hard to use with local changes at the framework's scripts because you have to merge new code yourself.
What does it mean "back to the roots?"
