If you do a Framework install, you will have an empty site-packages  
directory here:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.4/ 
site-packages

Normally I use fink to install stuff like Numeric and Pmw and  
Scientific, so I just make a symbolic link like this:

1.  If the site-packages directory is empty, remove it.

2.  Replace it with a symbolic link like this:

sudo ln -s /sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages  Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.4/site-packages

If you were using the original system Python2.3, it's site-packages  
directory resides at

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ 
python2.3/site-packages

locate site-packges

should find everything on your system.

HTH,

Bill
