I think it's not a bug, but a restriction; since it's letting you run
code on their server, and since Python sandboxing is a hard problem,
CodeSkulptor cuts down the available modules. From the docs:

http://www.codeskulptor.org/docs.html#tabs-Python
"""
CodeSkulptor implements the following subset of the Python standard
library. To use these operations, first import the relevant module
with an import statement, such asimport math.
"""

Solution: Don't try to run Python code in your browser, but download
and install an actual interpreter.
