I gave this a try on my Windows install (win2k, java 6, python 2.5.1) and it 
works fine for me:

   newt:vajda> python
   Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] onwin32
   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> import lucene; lucene.initVM(lucene.CLASSPATH, maxheap='1024m'); lucene.Document()
   <jcc.JCCEnv object at 0x008B62B0>
   <Document: Document<>>
   >>>
