If I had to take a guess, having not played too much with Lion:

/Library/Python/2.7 is for user-installed packages for the system
python that are installed for all users.
/Library/Frameworks/... is for the user-installed Python (that's where
it's always gone)
/Users/user/Library... is for user-installed packages for the system
Python that are only installed for the specific user.
