Have you tried importing it?  If importing it works, you can then find
where it lives by checking the __file__ attribute:

    import unicodedata
    print(unicodedata.__file__)

It should be included with your installation, assuming you're using
the package from python.org.  If you are unable to import it, please
raise an issue on the bug tracker at bugs.python.org.

For the record, here's where unicodedata lives on my Mac:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload/unicodedata.cpython-35m-darwin.so

Note that unicodedata is implemented in C, so it does not have a .py extension.
