But what if the user isn't using bash, but tcsh?  Or if they have a 
.bash_profile?  Or if they source their .bashrc via their .profile and 
set their PYTHONPATH in there?  There's a lot that could go wrong.

The second approach sounds much more robust and is the more conventional 
approach.  Hopefully you can get it to do what you want.
