ImportError: No module named _socket

_socket module is part of Lib/, and necessary if you have been able to install pip/setuptools with ensurepip in the installation. Check your sys.path and verify that one of the entries points to your Lib directory and that Lib/_socket.py is present

It's a path issue: in your configuration, you are including the CPython standard library, which is not compatible with Jython's version.

Specifically
"/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py"

is not going to work at all with Jython's version.

Check your JYTHONPATH. Also when testing your config, don't run Jython in the context of the pyenv tool - this may work, as a third-party tool, but it's not something I have run and it certainly adds one more factor of complexity.
