I am trying to import a Java API, which is distributed as a jar file. I followed the instructions from [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/1734231/1072062) at a similar question in Stack Overflow, but it didn't work.

In Jython, I did:

```
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append("/path/to/jar/api")
>>> from com.thingmagic import *
Traceback (most recent calls last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: no module named thingmagic

```

Am I missing something or did I do something wrong?
