To reproduce an import error, I'd start with:
        python	# start the python interpreter
        >>> import cPickle
        >>> cPickle.__file__
        '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/cPickle.so'
        
The above is what I get on my Fedora 8 laptop.  If the import works for
you then debugging can get more complicated.
