Vim: how to install the UltiSnips plugin?

I tried installing the UltiSnips plugin, but when Vim is loaded it creates a torrent of errors:

Error detected while processing C:\Documents and Settings\username\vimfiles\bundle\UltiSnips-2.2\plugin\UltiSnips.vim:
line  226:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named os
line  229:

  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\username\vimfiles\bundle\UltiSnips-2.2\pl
ugin\UltiSnips\__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from functools import wraps
ImportError: No module named functools
line  230:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'UltiSnips_Manager' is not defined
line  231:

line  232:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'UltiSnips_Manager' is not defined

What I did:

I installed the pathogen plugin, then extracted the contents of 'UltiSnips-2.2.tar.gz' to 'vimfiles/bundle/'

What I found for install instructions:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2715

The instructions only refer to concept of 'installing' as indicating how to get the source code. There are no step by step instructions. After a cursory glance I am lead to believe that the contents of 'UltiSnips-2.2.tar.gz' (provided directly on that page) is identical to the contents of the git repository.

Edit with more information:

This is gvim on windows XP. :echo has("python") returns 1.

The relevant bits of :version regarding python is:

+python/dyn -python3
-DFEAT_PYTHON -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON_DLL="python26.dll"

full contents of :version:

I encountered the same problem and had to resort to having multiple installations of Python. My current working setup has gVim7.4, Python2.7.9 (only for UltiSnip :-/) and Python3.4 (this is the one I work with).

If you do not have root access, other option is to downgrade version of ultisnips to 1.3. You can do that by running following command after git clone.

git checkout tags/1.3

There is compromise but it works!

Make sure vim has been compiled with python support. You can check this by running

vim --version | grep python

and looking for +python or run echo has('python') and see if it outputs 1.

If vim has been compiled with python support make sure that python (2) is in your PATH.
