See the following errors I in my case:

$ python
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 18 2007, 16:56:43)
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname('ip-72-55-191-6.static.privatedns.com')
