I've seen this question asked already but I think my situation is unique. I recently installed MYSQL and since then whenever I run python manage.py runserver I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>

    import socket
  File "c:\python27\Lib\socket.py", line 47, in <module>
    import _socket
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Could MYSQL be interfering with my Python installation? I tried uninstalling Python, and deleting all the files. Then reinstalling 32-bit Python but to no avail.

    Open idle type `from socket import _socket`, not module issue if haven't any error. `DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.` [socket use .pyc bytecode not an DLL](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2705304/how-to-import-pyc-file-from-different-version-of-python) Check your os/python default C compiler/module. – dsgdfg Dec 01 '16 at 06:34
  • I tried importing _socket and I receive the same message, how do I check my default compiler? – Amon Dec 01 '16 at 21:05

    `python manage.py runserver` to `C:\Python2.7\ python.exe manage.py runserver` so you got 3 paths (Python_Path, App_path, Virtualenv_Path ). Some libraries is on shared (Single module for all pyhon versions), you can't call with default_ver_python upper_version_python_module. – dsgdfg Dec 05 '16 at 19:34
  • @dsgdfg Hey thanks for the response, I actually edited the question. I got it to work. I uninstalled one of the versions of Python I had and reinstalled the x86-64 version. Thank you again for the help – Amon Dec 05 '16 at 21:31
  • Please don't edit the question with solutions! Post answers instead. This makes your question seem open while you actually solved it... – Tomerikoo Jan 20 '21 at 07:59

OP solved the problem themselves, this solution was edited into the question:

I solved the issue, it looks like I had two versions of Python installed and didn't know it. I uninstalled both versions and reinstalled the x86-64 version
