Yes.

python setup.py install essentially instructs
distutils (or setuptools or distribute - whichever is being used)
to "install" the package into your site-packages or
$PYTHONPATH (if configured that way by means of configuration).

NB: Copying the package's directory into site-packages hwoever
has the same effect. The directory that contains the __init__.py
