They need to be in the app folder for Silverlight to be able to import 
them - so the short answer is no.

:-)

Dependency tracking for Python modules is a difficult problem and there 
are Python modules (in the standard library and in projects like py2exe) 
that do just this. It is unrealistic to expect Silverlight to implement 
these semantics - especially as it is a tool for Dynamic Silverlight in 
general and not just for Python.
