You probably forgot to export them to put them in the environment?

$ export PYTHONPATH=/c/testwebapp:/c/Steve

sholden at DELLBOY /c/testwebapp/views
$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/c/testwebapp:/c/Steve

sholden at DELLBOY /c/testwebapp/views
$ python
Python 2.3.3 (#1, Dec 30 2003, 08:29:25)
[GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path
['', '/c/testwebapp', '/c/Steve', '/usr/lib/python23.zip',
'/usr/lib/python2.3',  '/usr/lib/python2.3/plat-cygwin',
'/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python
2.3/lib-dynload',
'/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages']
 >>>

Certainly works for me, anyhow ...
