Atro, Python as a scripting environment isn't configured for that style of use, where all of the cross-platform components are shared in common and only the platform-specific binaries are separated. PyMOL follows Python in this respect. Though it might be possible to pull something like that off, the megabytes saved per time spent wouldn't be worth the trouble.
[Aside: I don't know what prices are like in Europe, but here in the US disk space is running 50-70 cents a GB. Thus, a complete platform-specific binary PyMOL install uses about 2 cents worth of disk space, and a complete build with all dependencies from source with object code costs about a quarter (0.25 USD).] As for the error -- either the _cmd.so binary isn't installed in the right place, or it is for a different platform.
