I'm trying to find the Python library binaries associated with a given python executable.

This really isn't a python-dev question; please use python-list (news:comp.lang.python) instead. Please take a look at sys.path.

1. I think the documentation for sys and configure both need some updating

Would you like to work on a patch? This information can be readily obtained from the Python source code.

2. I'd like to know if there's an officially correct procedure for finding the library binaries associated with a Python executable.

Yes (although I'm not sure what a "library binary" is).
