Apparently your Python does not automatically look in /usr/local/lib/ python and you don't have PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python. Try adding the following to your .bash_profile, then logging out and back in again:

if [ -z "$PYTHONPATH" ]; then
     PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python
else
     PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python"
fi
export PYTHONPATH

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
