Just ask Python what its prefix (sys.prefix) and version is and you
get the location of site-packages:
prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages

Some additional logic might be needed for multilib systems.

Any reason why this can't be used? I don't know about other bindings,
but there should be a way also.
