Hi,

PYTHONPATH is set by many applications, such as PyGTK. This reminds me
that I found some bogus PYTHONPATHs variables in some packages; you're
probably suffering from the same problem as I was.

In short, cd into /System/Links/Environments and grep for PYTHONPATH
there. You'll be able to see what packages are defining it. Modify
those files as necessary, and then re-run SymlinkProgram Foo, where
Foo is the name of one of the files you modified (just don't play with
Cache, as it's automatically generated).
