It's trying to load the old module for versions of BRLTTY prior to 3.8.

Are you sure that the Python Brlapi bindings were installed when you
reinstalled BRLTTY?
In Debian, this is the python-brlapi package. If you built BRLTTY from
sources, be sure that the Python bindings were installed.

To check, you could also run python from the shell and attempt to import the
brlapi module:

jason jdc:~$ python
Python 2.4.5 (#2, Mar 11 2008, 23:38:15)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
> > > import brlapi
jason jdc:~$

If the above gives an error after the import statement, then the Python
bindings aren't installed properly.
