OK, so this all started trying to install OpenBazaar, but I've talked to their devs and it's my python that seems messed up somehow. I think I may have created/deleted a symbolic link somewhere like a year or so ago, and have NO memory of what/where it was/is.
So I run their install and it stops at this error:
ImportError: No module named _struct
So naturally I start looking around for solutions to this. I've seen this one:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install python python-support
But that doesn't fix it. So I tried the one lower down in that same thread:
sudo apt-get remove idle-python2.7
But IDLE is not on my machine. So my next guess is this one response to the same issue at http://bugs.python.org/issue15066, where the guy says he reversed the patch for the bug. And I guess that's where my skills fall madly short, because I can't even figure out what that patch even means, let alone how to reverse it:

sys.path.append(s)
Any guesses? Any off-the-top-of-my-head s? As I said, I'm pretty sure this is my own clumsiness at work, but I just want to see if anybody can tell me where to start looking for the shattered glass.
In my usr/lib folder, I have python2.7, python3, and python3.4, but I have no idea why I have three versions. When I do python -V it comes up with:
Python 2.7.6
I'm really at a loss as to where to even begin.
