I had the same problem on Linux.
If somebody could help find the solution... (this works fine on Windows).

To bypass the problem on Linux/Unix, you can use something like 'java python.PyRun
TestDND.py' (cf. example in 'make testjava').

python.PyRun.main() should let you run Python scripts from within Java.
By doing this way, you don't have to initialize Java from Python, something that
still fails on Linux/Unix, with the message you noted.
