OK.
OTOH, you got the error
>> 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
What happens if you run python interactively and type
import site

If this works, chances are that LyX calls a different Python binary.

So you can remove this again. The PYTHONPATH variable is only needed
to customize sys.path but site.py should be on the standard
python-library-path as set up by the system.

I am impressed that even with a bug in the latexexample.tex file
(unbalanced environment markers) a valid lyx file is generated.
