On my machine,

Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30)
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import time
 >>> time.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/timemodule.so'

After renaming file that to hide it:
 >>> import time
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named time


So the question is, does this file exist on your machine?  If not,
you have a broken installation and your admin needs to fix it or
reinstall.
