Environment:
Ubuntu 16.04
Python 2.7
  -> Import of paramika from python works fine.

It looks like bcrypt is mostly written in C.
Jython does not support using C-extensions.
Interestingly, bcrypt states to run with PyPy, so it maybe contains a pure Python fallback, but fails to trigger it for Jython. You could look into the internals and see if a pure Python fallback exists and maybe trigger it manually by a monkeypatch of some flag.

You also might want to try JyNI, see jyni.org.

Thanks.

I tried bcrypt from pypy, still the same issue. Will look into jyNi as suggested by you.

I found time to check bcrypt with JyNI myself by now. Unfortunately it turned out that bcrypt uses cffi, which is not yet supported by JyNI. (E.g. ctypes and cython work rather well...)
I hope we can add that support, but cannot tell when. cffi is actually high on the priority list, but requires buffer protocol support, which is a rather complex enhancement. See https://github.com/Stewori/JyNI/issues/26 for progress on this front.

Setting priority to low and Resolution to "remind", because JyNI is a somewhat separate project and this issue won't fix on Jython's domain. Could normally be a 'won't fix' from Jython perspective, but with remind we can keep track and can test again in future. Feel free to bring up the issue in JyNI's tracker on github.
