Don't search; just open the lid and read the label that's tied around
the culprit's neck; example:

| >>> import httplib
| >>> httplib.__file__
| 'c:\\python24\\lib\\httplib.pyc'

If you want to see where it finds *everything* that's imported, run
Python with the -v arg.
If you want to see where it looks for each module imported, use -vv
(that's vee vee, not dubya).
