If you are integrating a 3rd party library or script into a django (or ANY python) project, it needs to be available on the python interpreter's path. It sounds like you are getting hung up on the mechanics of python's package/module rules. I would suggest familiarizing yourself with http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html - particularly the section titled "The Module Search Path". In my opinion the documentation leaves out a few key points so I would also recommend reading section 4.1 here: http://docs.python.org/inst/search-path.html
Put Django aside for a second, you should be able to fire up a python interpreter and type >> import <the_3rd_party_module> if you have set it up correctly the module will import successfully, if not you will receive an error. Hope that helps.
