Yes, /usr/lib/python/site-packages is in sys.path. This series of commands should explain what I mean: I've put the Python ID3 module in a sub-directory of site-packages as an illustration.

your site-package/id3 lacks a __init__.py file. '__init__.py' file can be just an empty file but it needs to be there for python to be considered as a package.
Alternatively, you can use 'from id3 import ID3' instead of 'import id3.ID3'
