As others have pointed out, ".jar" is going to be Java
bytecode, and from that strange looking path (was, I assume
supposed to be "C:\JavaProjects\PythonTesting"), it looks
very much like you really wanted to be using Jython (a.k.a
"Java Python") rather than Python (a.k.a. "C Python").

Perhaps you have both Jython and Python 2.4 installed and
you are launching the latter when you meant the former?

In any case, C Python cannot load Java classes (that's the
main raison d'etre for Jython).
