$out is pointing eg to /nix/store/k5ni66psqxk4hv01vh41vk8bbwqfidcf-python-mechanize-0.1.11

There is no common site-packages, where things could be left behind.

That's exactly what is happening. Every package has it's own
site-packages, containing whatever code the package provides itself and
a pth file pointing to its own code and the store locations of
dependencies.
