Are we sure that the problem is with the Python module? I am not so
sure. After all, it's standard with Python 2.3. What OS are we
talking about? Which Python version? What is the Python application?
What are all of the steps leading to the error/requirement report?

When I install Python apps I do tar -zxv <PythonApp>.tgz and then
python <PythonApp> to run it. Which app are we discussing, and where
can I get it so that I can look at the source to learn how to write
installation script(s)?
