   I do not understand this. Can you show an example? Imagine I have two
servers, Linux and FreeBSD, and on Linux python is in /usr/bin, home is
/home/phd, on BSD these are /usr/local/bin and /usr/home/phd. I have some
modules in site-packages and some modules in $HOME/lib/python. How can I
move programs from one server to the other without rewriting them (how can
I not to put full paths to modules)? I use PYTHONPATH manipulation - its
enough to write a shell script that starts daemons once and use it for many
years. How can I do this without sys.path?!
