I don't know anything about Jython or Netbeans specifically, but looking at
your code I see that Load_Configurations is, indeed, not defined anywhere.
It's not imported nor does the code ever create an object with that name,
so I'm not surprised that you get that error.

This entire block of code is conditionally executed upon __name__ being
equal to "main"; perhaps that condition is false when the code is run and
thus the error is never triggered.
