This happens when classes.zip (Java core classes) is not
on the class path in the jython script.
Check that classpath in the jython script includes
the directory java_directory/lib in the class path,
where java_directory is the directory for the java executable.

I had a similar problem under OS2 where I had to
patch the .bat files for jython and jythonc,
I now use .cmd REXX files I derived from these .bat files.

Regards, good luck,
