so it didn't get installed to your python at all.

To help you, we'll need to know what version of python you are running, 
and how you installed it, and exactly what you did to try to install 
GDAL and python bindings.

NOTE: last I tried the "official GDAL binaries were not up to date, and 
none of the other ones I found were compatible with the python binding 
eggs without tweaking things. It would be nice to have one simple way to 
get GDAL libs, utilities and python bindings all installed. (with the 
python.org python, version 2.5 and 2.6 -- and maybe 2.7 now)
