I think some additional info would help here.  I tried the same setup you
mention, and all the pawt modules/classes imported correctly (without
ImportError).  The trick now is to find out what is different for you.

-My setup== jdk1.3.1, Linux, latest cvs jython
-all libs (*.py and *.class files) in jyLibs.jar.
-used the following command to start Jython:

    java -Dpython.home=/export/cvs/jython \
         -Dpython.path=/export/cvs/jython/jyLibs.jar\!Lib \
         -cp /export/cvs/jython/jython.jar:/export/cvs/jython/jyLibs.jar \
         org.python.util.jython -v

-the following imports work fine (plus other permutations of from pawt
import x):

    import pawt.colors
    import pawt.GridBag
    import pawt.swing

One guess might be that you have a package that is missing its __init__.py
file.
