suse linux uses bash as default shell - so it should
be $HOME/.bash_profile or /etc/profile (global - for all users) 
to set up environment with "PATH=blahfasel"
But the modules are not in ${PATH} anyway :-)
It's $PYTHONHOME or $PYTHONPATH
Did you install the rpm? (then there shouldn't be any problems)
