If you run Python form the shell and then
import sys
print sys.path
this will show you in which directories it looks by default for Python code.

The various Python-related packages should all be installed in locations where
they can be found via the default path. In debian, at least, this is all
prescribed in distribution policies; and this is one reason why I prefer
debian - there's a policy document, violations of which are treated as serious
bugs that have to be fixed.

I don't know how Arch handles Python packages but I would hope that it is
similar.
