django_tables requires that you actually be running within the django-"primed" python environment. You can access this by going to your project's directory and typing

python manage.py shell

Then you can import django_tables2 with no problems.

For further info, take a look at the following: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/

Note that this is not about the admin template site (despite the url), it's about the django-admin.py (system-wide) and manage.py (project-wide) "helper" applications. manage.py shell actually starts up a standard python shell with several pre-loaded environment variables and a few imports.
