I agree with Guido. I normally need an application-specific PYTHONPATH,
and I do that by editing the start script adding a sys.path.append
into it (these days, Python applications often come with a tiny
start script that then imports the main functionality from a module).
Examples where I do this include buildbot, moinmoin, and roundup.
As a system's administrator, I discourage people from setting PATH,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, and, if possible, CLASSPATH. Instead, I
try to manage the system so that system-wide software is available
to every user without additional setup.

Regards,
Martin
