I would suggest not using PYTHONPATH, but instead use the .pth
file capability defined in and used by site.py.  Check the
comments at the top of that file in your python/lib folder,
and make a .pth file with the appropriate contents instead
of mucking with environment variables.  One thing to note:
the file extension must be lower case or site.py won't
find the file.
