Judging from appearances, that isn't main.py. That's a page from the GitHub repository for main.py. If you've tried to download main.py directly from the site, you'll want to select 'Raw'.

Yes, its main.py

Now, im not sure where i downloaded it, but i didnt download anything since then.. anyways, i will check it out again.

I am so lost on what I am doing wrong. PLEASE someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thats the Modman-log text file that gets created after I try to run the main.py file. I have tried as an admin, using the command prompt, all that. Am I missing something simple, or what?

Google chatter says this can happen when mixing 32bit and 64bit exes/dlls.
Possibly from installing one edition of Python over top of another existing one?

Completely uninstall Python (delete its folder if it lingers afterward), then reinstall it.

You are a saint, thank you so much!

Sigh I'm very sorry but Im stuck getting this to work at step..

Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories.
Right-click "Command Prompt" to run as an admin.
Type this, then hit enter: cd "c:\wherever\GMM\is"
Type this, then hit enter: main.py
Windows Vista/7/8 insist on only letting admin-apps modify what's in important locations like Program Files.

I type in this command line into command prompt and I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified."
Im probably just too tired and being stupid but can I get a little help.

If u guys need to use the program, but cant update it (like me, i just gave up trying to make it work the last version) just download the 1.6 version that works perfectly fine, and thats it !.

Y'mean [ cd "c:\wherever\GMM\is" ]?
Probably a typo. Or missing quotes?
Hitting tab to autocomplete names helps avoid stuff like that.

Its not working? I run Modman.exe even with python installed and it says i need python!

Sometimes i wonder if people are lazy or they just cant read. They jump in the last post and start asking without even read 4 or 5 previous posts...

So, answering to your question.. look some older posts.

all the text on my game is shrunken and moved to the top of the screen, i tried previous posts about deleting the backups, no affect on re-running of GMM. on check the cache on steam 2 files are missing and replaced, game works. on re-downloading and running GMM 1.7,game Text breaks and the targeting cursor in game is a black square, rooms with no O2 become huge black squares, this is far from annoying. i know i'm doing something wrong, i just need some help, i running steam 1.03.1 version of FTL GMM 1.7 on windows 7. cheers for any help.
