Hi Robert,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble.  I assume you are running this as a 
script and not interactively in the Python shell.  Further to Sean's note, 
how did you install MapScript?  Did you use one of the MapScript binary 
sources listed on page 277?  If so, please let us know.

All the best,
Tyler
