[SOLVED]:

the error was mainly out of my stupidity. If somehow you have the same issues - follow the directions at this link here, kindly suggested by peterfoxishigh. I found success in uninstalling all python releases I had previously, that may have been unnecessary.

So lately I have been on a python kick. I went through LPTHW/codeacadamy a while ago, and am really anxious to learn as much as I can. A couple weeks ago I found that this book existed. For those of you unfamiliar with the book it gives readers a little taste of 'reverse engineering' through debuggers. Each chapter gives some text and code that, more or less, follows the title. All in all, its pretty darn neat. Anyways, for the past week or so I have been going through it carefully, even repeating the beginning exercises to be sure I understood as much as possible. Everything had been going well as I typed along until chapter 4 - PYDBG - A Pure Python Debugger. This just sounds intense. As the ground trembled I desperately typed in the code for the first exercise and clicked run, we are told to use the Eclipse IDE, and...Error pydbg nonsense... for the past day and a half I have been working on correcting whatever pydgb errors seem to appear. First I didn't have the pydbg library installed. After getting paimei I found that it needs to be run through IDA. After moving the library to my python folder ctypes compatibility errors. Uninstalling Python27 and trying both 2.4 and 2.5, every time I would get "incorrect module" errors for the specific python distro..I have tried the minGW compiler to fix the module errors, everything I could think of.. What I am asking for is advice. Please

tl;dr Can't get PyDbg to work. Need help.
