not sure what I was smoking that late evening actually:
*$> PYTHONPATH=/buga python -c "import sys; print sys.path"
['', '/buga', '/usr/lib/python24.zip', ...
so precedence capability is there
but that is irrelevant since that method of custom pythonX.X-local is indeed
ugly. Having proper configuration file under /etc sounds much more viable
and correct solution.
