How can I check is some package is installed in my system. My system is Linux, but even better if it could works in other OSs. I mean OS specific package (like could be *.rpm or *.deb).
Is there any python module or script that could do it?

To find out whether you've installed a .deb, .rpm, etc. package, you need to use the appropriate tools for your packaging system.
APT has a Python wrapper named python-apt in Debian, or just apt at PyPI.
RPM has a whole slew of Python tools—in fact, most of Redhat's installer ecosystem is built on Python, and you should already have the rpm module installed. Read Programming RPM with Python (or, better, search for a newer version…) before looking for a high-level wrapper, so you understand what you're actually doing; it's only a couple lines of code even with the low-level interface.
As far as I know, nobody has wrapped these up in a universal tool for every packaging format and database that any linux distro has ever used (and, even if they had, that wouldn't do you much good on linux systems that don't use a packaging system). But if you just want to handle a handful of popular systems, python-apt and either Redhat's own tools or search PyPI for RPM, and that will cover almost everything you care about.
Alternatively, pkg-config is the closest thing to a universal notion of "packages installed on this system". Every linux system will have it (and most other non-Windows systems), but not every package registers with pkg-config. Still, if this is what you're looking for, pkgconfig is the Python answer.
