Thanks you for your contribution!  I hope you’ll find fun bugs to make patches 
for.

Your patch looks too simplistic; in the discussion, we agreed that if the 
lookup fails, the site module should not add user site directories (see 
http://docs.python.org/library/site#site.USER_SITE or PEP 370), and your patch 
does not seem to do that.

Moreover, this bug has repercussions on the sysconfig module (see my previous 
message), which needs edits too.

BTW, I don’t know how we can test a patch for this bug; arekm, how do you run 
Python from a UID without passwd entry?
