Never mind, I just forgot to reset my PYTHONPATH variable to point to 
the new site-packages. It all works when I set it to 
/Users/jayparlar/Library/Python2.5/site-packages.

Kind of weird though that only the C modules went to 
~/Library/Python2.5/site-packages, but all the .py modules went to 
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/. Could that be because of my 
~/.pydistutils.cfg having the following:

[install]
install_lib = ~/Library/Python$py_version_short/site-packages
install_scripts = ~/bin
