Now, I need to import a third-party module (nltk - http://www.nltk.org/). I installed it in the commandline-version of IronPython and am able to import it with ipy. But I can't import it in the web application. I have tried to work with sys.path.append("path\to\nltk"), but the module can't be found.

Wolfgang, sounds like you're referring to browser/silverlight scripting with IronPython? If so, take a look at the documentation: http://ironpython.net/browser/docs.html#zip-files; it shows how to make multi-file python modules available for import.
