    You should see the configuring your environment section in the README file that came with your Ice installation. In this case, you probably have not set your PATH or PYTHONPATH correctly.

    This is the relevant part of the VC8 Ice installer README file. The instructions for your version might be a little different, so please check.
    Running the Python demos

    The Python demos are in the demopy directory.

    You need Python 2.5.2 to run the demos. A binary installer for Python
    can be downloaded from:

    Download Python Software

    You also need to add the Ice bin directory to your PATH, for example:

    set PATH=<Ice installation root directory>\bin;%PATH%

    Finally, set PYTHONPATH so that the Python interpreter is able to load
    the Ice extension. For a 32-bit Python installation, use this setting:

    set PYTHONPATH=<Ice installation root directory>\python

    For a 64-bit Python installation, use this setting instead:

    set PYTHONPATH=<Ice installation root directory>\python\x64

    To run a demo, open a Command Prompt, change to the desired demo
    directory, and type 'python Server.py' to start the server. In a
    separate Command Prompt window, type 'python Client.py' to run the
    client.

    My guess is that you are not using the correct version of python with your version of Ice. What versions of each are you using?
