Issue
I have installed at my home directory.
[spatel@~ dev1]$ /home/spatel/python-2.7.3/bin/python -V
Python 2.7.3
I am trying to run one script which required python 2.7.x version, and i am getting missing bz2 error
[spatel@~ dev1]$ ./import_logs.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./import_logs.py", line 13, in <module>
import bz2
ImportError: No module named bz2
I have tried to install bz2 module but i got lots of error
[spatel@dev1 python-bz2-1.1]$ /home/spatel/python-2.7.3/bin/python setup.py install

Solution
Probably as you built python from source, you don't have bz2 headers.
Install them on Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
Fedora:
sudo yum install bzip2-devel
And build python again. You may notice that python checks for lots of libraries when configuring/building, if you miss some of them you probably will get no support for libs like bz2 on your case.
You should get prebuild binaries to avoid this kind of stuff. Ubuntu 12.04 packs python 2.7.3, the version your script needs.
