You installed this with easy_install, so the version of python therein 
referenced is the same one that now should have access to it.

Try :  which easy_install

then cat the result.  The first line points to the executable python 
that installed pytz.  On my local system this looks like:


head -1 `which easy_install`
#! /usr/bin/python

copy and paste in the result, then import pytz from there and paste in 
the results if it doesn't work.
