It's quick and dirty, and would probably fail in some corner case, but
would something like this work?

function! s:PySource(module)
let path = substitute(a:module, '\v(\w+)\.', '\1/', 'g')
execute 'view /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/' .
\ substitute(path, '/\w\+$', '', '') .
\ '.py'
execute '/\%(class\|def\)' substitute(path, '\v.*/(\w+)$', '\1', '')
endfunction
command! -nargs=1 PySource call s:PySource('<args>')

It may require tweaking to work on your particular system (though it
works on my machine), but this should at least give you an idea of how
you might approach it.
