No, I compiled from source.

I have a /usr/lib/python2.3 that has a bunch of .py .pyo .pyc files, and
I also have a;
$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/python2.3/
total 1

I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to here.  Looking at my install
log, I have a number of .py .pyc .pyo files in
usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/ and
usr/local/share/pygtk/2.0/

Is there a single filename or extension I should be looking for?

I didn't use one, just straight ./configure.
