Sorry I haven't replied to this sooner.  Try running this:

python /etc/python2.3/site.py

It should list what's in your python path.  Mine looks like this:

sys.path = [
    '/etc/python2.3',
    '/usr/lib/python23.zip',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload',
    '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/HTMLgen',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Numeric',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL',
    '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0',
    '/usr/lib/site-python',
]

If yours is similar, or even just contains /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages, 
then I suggest the following, as Anthony mentioned:

apt-get --purge remove python-apt
apt-get install python-apt
