python on Ubuntu.  How would I find the location of the modules
(find /  -name "os.py" does not yield results)?

Not all modules are implemented as .py files.
Some are compiled C libraries. Thus searching for .py will not find all Python modules. Also you may only have the compiled python installed although thats less likely.

You can find any module by importing it and asking for its file:

import os
os.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.5/os.pyc'
