It sounds like you're running with the scratchbox python.

Try:
echo 'deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ bora free non-free' 
 >>/etc/apt/sources.list
fakeroot apt-get update
fakeroot apt-get install python2.5-runtime python2.5-dev

Then launch your app with:

run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/python2.5 myscript.py

I think that should do it.

Dave.
