Try adding this for debugging:

    import sys
    print sys.path

That's a list of the directories where Python looks for modules to
be imported.

Are you sure that you want to import syslog from twisted.python? 
syslog is a module in the python standard library.  Is there also a
module named syslog in twisted.python?
