As @delnan said, the maintainer of Lighthouse API should really create a setup.py script. Anyway, there are two ways to achieve what you want and both require an understand of python modules.
When you import a module in python like so:

the interpretor searches for a file named lighthouse.py in the directory which the input script was run and if it cannot find it there it then searches in the directories specified by the environment variable PYTHONPATH. If you do not know what an environment variable is, I suggest reading up about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable

If it can't find it in the directories specified by the PYTHONPATH envi var it then defaults to the sys.path var which is installation dependent.
What the maintainer of lighthouse is doing (I think) is symlinking these files from whatever directory he downloaded them to into his installation default directory. You can quickly figure out what this directory is by running the python interpretor and looking at the sys.path var:
You can see that /usr/local/lib/pthon2.6/dist-packages/ is the folder all the modules are in. I believe this is where the maintainer is symlinking his files. THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. You shouldn't modify this directly.
The better approach is to simply download the files and place them in the same directory as your script, or you should place them in a directory and add that directory to the PYTHONPATH environment var.
