According to one of the reviews on Amazon, that's because the author of 
the book has written his own customized version of Livewires which you 
have to use.

http://www.amazon.ca/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-Second/dp/1598631128

The book quite clearly says so too:

TRAP Although you're welcome to visit the web site of the LiveWires
      organization at http://www.livewires.org.uk , be aware that the 

      livewires package used in this book is a modified version of the
      package that LiveWires created.

While I admire your persistence, we are all volunteers and may not 
appreciate being asked the same questions over and over and over again 
to no value.

I'm just saying that at some point, you may have to expect that we'll 
stop answering questions if we think we're just wasting our time. If the 
author's custom version is not available, and the standard version 
doesn't work, then we're probably wasting our time.
