We've got a custom packaging setup that I'm trying to integrate a Nose plugin into. I'm using a single-version-externally-managed setup. Our packaging setup uses symlinks to link from a package area on disk to /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages. Running "python" from the command line shows the libraries coming from the package area, not /usr/local... For some reason, if I explicitly set my PYTHONPATH environment variable to include the /usr/local... directory it can find my plugin. If I don't set it, it can't find the plugin. (pkg_resources.require() can find my package and is able to confirm that the entry point is there...) While I have things working with the PYTHONPATH, I'd like to not have that requirement... any ideas what might keep this from working normally?
