You've modified it incorrect.

You should use "import jpype" OR "from jpype import *" (not
recommended)
but NOT BOTH.

1. "import jpype"

This does not enter the name of the function startJVM defined in jpype
directly in the current symbol table; it only enters the module name
jpype there.
Using the module name you can access the function like that:

jpype.startJVM()

2. "from jpype import"

This enters the name of the function startJVM in the currrent symbol
table,
so you can access the function just like that:

startJVM()

And have you read this: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html ?
