Import Error with embedded python

[Lane Brooks]

When I run a particular python script from an embedded interpreter, I 
get the following ImportError:

   File "di.py", line 14, in load
     from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2
   File 
"/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/ext/reader/__init__.py", 
line 14, in ?
     import string, urllib2, urlparse, cStringIO, os
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/urllib2.py", line 90, in ?
     import base64
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/base64.py", line 9, in ?
     import struct
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload/structmodule.so: undefined 
symbol: PyExc_TypeError


However, running the same script from the command line does not produce 
this error.  Any ideas as to what I need to do to get the embedded 
interpreter setup to not produce this error?

The platform is Linux x86_64.

Thanks,
Lane
