Before you can do any import you need to set the module path in the Python
session that you created. That is the path where the Python loader can find
the modules.

LabPython interfaces to the Python core and makes it available to a LabVIEW
application but does not setup anything explicitedly itself. Anything that
is not hardwired in the Python DLL will have to be setup by you when
creating the Python session. For your case you want to add the path where
your socket module is found to the sys.path variable before attempting to
issue an import command.
