lib64 is only needed, if you have installed binaries, which are arch specific.

$ python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages


$ python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib(1)"
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages
