You ensure that by taking the library from the version of Python that you're running. > I loaded this library as part of Python 2.5. That's too new. Since you're using Jython, you're running either 2.1 or 2.2 depending on whether you've installed the stable version or the beta version. Go grab a Python distribution of the correct version and get the modules you need from there. Note this, though: http://www.jython.org/Project/installation.html#can-t-access-standard-python-modules : "Not all the modules form CPython is available in Jython. Some modules require a C language dynamic link library that doesn't exists in java. Other modules are missing from Jython just because nobody have had a need for it before and no-one have tested the CPython module with Jython. If you discover that you are missing a module, try to copy the .py file from a CPython distribution to a directory on your Jython sys.path. If that works you are set. If it doesn't work, try asking on jython-users mailing list." To summarize, you could be looking at a rather deep rabbit hole of possibly unsatisfiable dependencies. To summarize the summary, are you sure you need to use Jython instead of standard CPython?
