This ain't the official way... but the hackers way.....

Check site.path (import site)...

If your module got loaded, and it's own succinct directory or .egg, then
it will have been added to site.path. 

You might have to parse the values in site.path but we're only talking
a few lines of code because you already know the package name.

If not, there's another way through pkg_utils...
