It sounds like you installed swampy in the wrong place.
Python has a set of locations that it looks for modules.
One is the current directory. So if, for example, swampy
is in your Python27 folder that would explain it.

Because the standard modules are in the location where
Python looks for them.

You can check the sys.path contents to see where Python
is looking. If swampy is not in any of those locations
Python won't se it.

Probably by reinstalling swampy. But you'll need to check
their web site. This list is for core Python and standard
library. We can't offer much help for external modules.
You are best asking on dedicated forums.
