/Library/Python/2.3 is your "site-packages" folder for the version of 
MacPython included with OS X 10.3.. the actual site-packages is in the 
depths of /System, but it's a symlink to /Library/Python/2.3

You have a bunch of old junk around from previous versions of OS X, a 
clean install of 10.3 wouldn't have /usr/lib/python2.2 and you 
shouldn't really have a version of Python in /Library/Frameworks under 
10.3.
