Short story:

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this!"
"Well, don't do that then..."

Long story:

/usr/share/pyshared/ directory is an implementation detail of Python 
helpers. Don't mess with it if don't know what you are doing. More 
specifically, adding it to sys.path (either explicitly, or by running a 
script from this directory) is doomed to failure.
