Not all modules are implemented as .py files.
Some are compiled C libraries. Thus searching 
for .py will not find all Python modules. Also you may only 
have the compiled python installed although thats less likely.

You can find any module by importing it and asking 
for its file:

>>> import os
>>> os.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.5/os.pyc'
>>>
