By the path your giving for OS X python I'm guessing your a rev-or-so old on your OS X (leopard?) so I can't directly compare with my machine.

But, adding packages to the base OS X install is always a touchy thing, one check I would recommend is the permissions on any packages you add. Do a ls -l /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ and make sure everything has r rights (and x rights for directories) (I.E. -rwxr-xr-x or drwxr-xr-x).

I had a recent case where a sudo pip wouldn't set user read rights on installed packages, and I believe "No module" was the error I was getting when I tried to use them

Because adding packages is so touchy on OS X, there are tons of guide on the net to doing hand installs of python. The first one I matched on a google is Installing / Updateing Python on OS X (use at your own risk, I personally haven't followed that guide)

(... the 3rd part install system Brew is a very common method for people to do automated installs of python as well)
