It definitely should be part of the default Python install. On my
Debian system:

=====
$ python
Python 2.3.5 (#2, Sep  4 2005, 22:01:42)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import math
>>> repr(math)
"<module 'math' from '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/math.so'>"
>>>

$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/math.so
python2.3: /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/math.so
=====

Perhaps you should use the official Python package for your operating
system, or double-check you built and installed the source packages
the way you want them.
