on windows, it's linked to the interpreter.

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime
<module 'datetime' (built-in)>

>>> import sys
>>> "datetime" in sys.builtin_module_names
True

on other platforms, it may be linked to the interpreter or placed in
a shared library:

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime
<module 'datetime' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/datetime.so'>
