When it comes to organizing python modules, my Mac OS X system is a mess. I've packages lying around everywhere on my hdd and no particular system to organize them.
How do you keep everything manageable?

Organize your modules into packages. Each package must contain a special __init__.py file. Your project should generally consist of one top-level package, usually containing sub-packages. That top-level package usually shares the name of your project, and exists as a directory in the root of your project's repository.
For the most part, modules are just Python scripts that are stored in your Lib or Lib/site-packages folder, or local to the script being run. That's it.
Modules are files with “. py” extension containing Python code. They help to organise related functions, classes or any code block in the same file. It is considered as a best practice to split the large Python code blocks into modules containing up to 300–400 lines of code.
My advice:
paster create (see http://pythonpaste.org) to create your initial directory layout.

In addition to PEP8 and easy_install, you should check out virtualenv. Virtualenv allows you to have multiple different python library trees. At work, we use virtualenv with a bootstrapping environment to quickly set up a development/production environment where we are all in sync w.r.t library versions etc. We generally coordinate library upgrades.
