The example was tested with JPython 1.1a3, which I
believe has the struct module.  I don't have access to
JPython right now, but I believe you can get the
example to work by creating a struct.py file which
just defines empty functions for the functions which
pickle imports (I believe, just pack and unpack). 
Something like:

def pack(*args, **kw): pass
unpack = pack

PS: It's surprising that the book came out before the
software -- I believe it's mostly because the JPython
folks are working out a new license agreement for
easier distribution.
