GTK+ itself lives in /usr/lib or somewhere like that.
PyGTK is the python interface to GTK+ and lives entirely in 
site-packages/gtk-2.0/, along with optinal, but related stuff like 
pywnck, pygnome...

My site-packages/gtk-2.0 contains...well, a lot more stuff. :)
My site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk contains:

__init__.py
__init__.pyc
__init__.pyo
_gtk.la*
_gtk.so*
compat.py
compat.pyc
compat.pyo
glade.la*
glade.so*
keysyms.py
keysyms.pyc
keysyms.pyo

so it seems you're missing quite a lot.

Pygtk 2.7.4 is pretty new.  It seems to be aimed at GTK+ 2.8, but you 
have 2.6.4.  It should be simpler to try downgrading your PyGTK to 
2.6.something.
