Hi Chad,
The D:\pipeline_tools\python\site-packages\ folder only has pymel and pyodbc
folders in it.
The rest of the default Maya side of things comes from the standard install
directories.
The sitecustomize.py file is located in
D:\pipeline_tools\maya\modules\thq_python\scripts
and is added to the path by the standard maya module path system.
