Not exactly - in short, you have to place the package under some directory  
that is eventually listed in sys.path.
By default, one of such directories is site-packages, but there are also  
per-user directories. On Windows, %APPDATA%\Python\PythonNN\site-packages  
(see PEP 370 [1]). If you don't want to copy the package there, you can  
even add a .pth file and it will be processed.
