Depends on what you mean. There's directories, and then there's packages, which are also directories. If you have:
/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/<package>
then you should not add anything to Python's search path. (I don't know if you're familiar with Python programming so: a <package> is a directory containing __init__.py, and treated semantically like a regular module, but with submodules.)
If you have /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/<directory>
where <directory> is not a package (does not contain __init__.py, is not meant to act like a module) then you might need to create a .pth file to find names inside that directory (see Python documentation for pth files). It is not that uncommon for Python software to get installed that way, but it should not be done except for a very good reason.
.pth files are the least heinous way to modify python's search path at install time.
