No.

Not as such.  Arbitrary site-specific customization can be done by
creating a sitecustomize module, but this is not standard.  There are
also some environment variables that you may want to consider setting
in the system profile, but none are required or generally recommended:

I don't have experience with this, but it seems to me that you should
place the standard library and site-packages in the chrooted
/usr/lib/python2.7 and then set the PYTHONHOME environment variable to
/usr/lib.
