Not being able to import site.py is most likely related to a problem that was recently observed on jython-dev (http://sourceforge.net/p/jython/mailman/message/33546082/). The cause of this problem that $py.class files are not being created for the Lib/ directory when compiled under ant targets that don't include building the development version, such as the standalone jar.

Note that fixing #2143 also removes this issue, but has been postponed to 2.7.1.

The workaround for the moment is to build Jython from ant (https://wiki.python.org/jython/JythonDeveloperGuide), but we will have this fixed for the release candidate. See #2282
