The import works fine for me at the console with 2.7.2b2:

PS issue2818> inst\bin\jython
Jython 2.7.2b2 (v2.7.2b2:b9b60766cabe, Nov 1 2019, 07:46:45)
[Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.8.0_231

>>> import redis
>>> r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379)
>>> r
Redis<ConnectionPool<Connection<host=localhost,port=6379,db=0>>>

However, the first thing I got wrong was to "pip install redis" with the wrong pip (CPython one on my path, not the one in the Jython bin directory. That reproduces the error nicely.

You can tell when you use the right one because it is slow :( and you end up with a directory inst/Lib/site-packages/redis, or wherever home is for your Jython.

I'll try it from Java to make sure.
