If you search for "gtk" Spotlight should come up with a folder (.../ 
lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0.

Hmm.. A third option may be $HOME/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/.

Note that Python2.5 is the default python version on Mac OS X 10.5, so  
installing Python.org's one is only confusing IMHO.

I really don't know. I use Python installed from macports  
(macports.org) and it works like a charm, as long as the PATH is  
defined well (/opt/local/bin before /usr/bin).

You can also check sys.modules to see where a module resides (after  
you imported pygtk):

 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.modules
{ returns a huge dict with module name -> module object }
