The easiest way is just to drop it in the directory that contains the 
Python program you are running - that should make it available in 
preference to the 2.3 library version:

sholden at bigboy ~
$ cat Projects/Python/httplib.py
print "My Own Library!"

sholden at bigboy ~
$ cat Projects/Python/test24.py
import httplib
print "I just imported something"

sholden at bigboy ~
$ python Projects/Python/test24.py
My Own Library!
I just imported something

sholden at bigboy ~
$ rm Projects/Python/httplib.py* # remember the .pyc!

sholden at bigboy ~
$ python Projects/Python/test24.py
I just imported something

sholden at bigboy ~
$
