Try defining PYTHONPATH in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

This file contains a dictionary of strings. For example, mine looks 
like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.apple.
com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  ...
         <key>QMAKESPEC</key>
         <string>macx-pbuilder</string>
         <key>QTDIR</key>
         <string>/usr/local/qt</string>
  ...
</dict>
</plist>

The structure is managed for you if you use Apple's tool: 
/Developer/Applications/Property List Editor.
