Using Python Script in Java (Eclipse)

Question

I was looking for the possibility of adding a Python Script friend made for me to the Java application that I am trying to develop. After some trial and error, I finally found out about "Jython" and used PythonInterpreter to try to run the script.

However, trying to run it, I get an error message in a Python script. This is strange because when I try to run Script outside of Java (the Eclipse IDE in this case), Script works fine and does exactly what I need (extract all the images from the .docx files stored in its same directory).

Can anyone help me here?

Java:

import org.python.core.PyException;
import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter;

public class SPImageExtractor
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws PyException
    {   
        try
        {
            PythonInterpreter.initialize(System.getProperties(), System.getProperties(), new String[0]);
            PythonInterpreter interp = new PythonInterpreter();
            interp.execfile("C:/Documents and Settings/user/workspace/Intern Project/Proposals/Converted Proposals/Image-Extractor2.py");
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Python:

from os import path, chdir, listdir, mkdir, gcwd
from sys import argv
from zipfile import ZipFile
from time import sleep

#A few notes -
#(1) when I do something like " _,variable = something ", that is because
#the function returns two variables, and I only need one.  I don't know if it is a
#common convention to use the '_' symbol as the name for the unused variable, but
#I saw it in some guy code in the past, and I started using it.
#(2) I use "path.join" because on unix operating systems and windows operating systems
#they use different conventions for paths like '\' vs '/'.  path.join works on all operating
#systems for making paths.

#Defines what extensions to look for within the file (you can add more to this)
IMAGE_FILE_EXTENSIONS = ('.bmp', '.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.tif', '.tiff')

#Changes to the directory in which this script is contained
thisDir = getcwd()
chdir(thisDir)

fileList = listdir('.')
for file in fileList:

    if path.isfile(file):

        _,fileExt = path.splitext(file)
        if fileExt == '.docx':

            newDirectory = path.join(thisDir, file + "-Images")
            if not path.exists(newDirectory):
                mkdir(newDirectory)

            currentFile = open(file,"r")
            for line in currentFile:

            sleep(5)



            #Opens the file as if it is a zipfile
            #Then lists the contents
            try:
                zipFileHandle = ZipFile(file)
                nameList = zipFileHandle.namelist()

                for archivedFile in nameList:
                    #Checks if the file extension is in the list defined above
                    #And if it is, it extracts the file
                    _,archiveExt = path.splitext(archivedFile)
                    if archiveExt in IMAGE_FILE_EXTENSIONS:
                        zipFileHandle.extract(archivedFile, newDirectory)
            except:
                pass
