[IronPython] Why can't I use 'import os' in Ironpython Studio? It always says "No module named os".

Mainly because IronPython Studio, despite being a very impressive proof 
of concept, is a steaming heap of dung for actually developing with.

If you need the winforms / wpf designer then I recommend Visual Studio 
(Express) generating C# that you then use from IronPython. For 
developing Python projects you can use a real Python IDE like Wing, 
Komodo or SPE - or even a text editor like Vim (*ouch*) or Emacs. Any of 
these will suit you much better than IronPython Studio I'm afraid.

All the best,
