Adding onto this (which may be of need), but if this seems to be a 
hijack, my apologies......

Is there a way of getting the path to the site-packages directory? 
Considering that Mac OSX with Fink installs python libraries in 
/sw/lib/python<version>, Mac OSX itself has python libraries in 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/<version>/lib, etc 
etc...
