Looks like either a library problem (the .so (symbol table) missing a
function that should be there) or an interface problem (an attempt to
access a function not meant to be there).  Doubt its a bug in Py 2 import
code.  The call traceback listing that came before the ImportError message
might illuminate the problem better.  Hope someone else can be more helpful
with a solution.
