Look for cvisualmodule.so and a subdirectory named visual under
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-pakcages/.

On my system, Python finds the module there without problems.  If this
setup doesn't work for you, than cvisualmodule.so and the visual
directory must be copied into /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/

There is no such copy right now.  The details of future distributions
are being hashed out in the "History and Status" thread.  Some people
have simply edited their install scripts to do the job.
