Try

import sys
sys.path

That will give you a list of all the places Python will search for 
modules. There are several ways this list can be customized, including
PYTHONPATH environment variables
.pth files
site-customize.py
modifying sys.path in a program

so you shouldn't treat this as a final definitive list, rather it is a 
snapshot of current usage.
