import Error while importing python nltk module in node.js using "python-node" module

I am trying to import python natural language processing toolkit nltk in node.js using node-python mentioned here: https://npmjs.org/package/node-python

The commands i am giving are similar as mentioned on the npm module site:

var python = require('node-python');
var os = python.import('os');

i am getting the following error:

Error: /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/datetime.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_SystemError

I am using python2.7.2 After much search i found that this is a known bug in python2.7 and found a similar problem when importing from C here is the what i found: similar error found while importing python datetime module from C

The problem seems to be in the datetime.so module, i was thinking of getting the updated version of the datetime module and compiling it separately to make it work. I am still looking for that module and comple instructions. I would really appreciate If anyone has a better suggestion to resolve this or even help me locate the place to find this datetime module and its compile instructions. I really don't want to compile the whole python to make it work.
