On a simple RasPi gentoo 3.4:
pi3 etc # python
Python 3.4.5 (default, May 3 2017, 05:22:30)
[GCC 5.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/ntp', '/usr/lib/python34.zip',
'/usr/lib/python3.4', '/usr/lib/python3.4/plat-linux',
'/usr/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages']

It installed in the right place:
pi3 etc # ls /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/
ntp

kkknstallation path it's generating.
Works perfectly:
pi3 ntpsec # ls /tmp/ntp/usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/ntp/
agentx.py __init__.py ntpc.cpython-34m.so __pycache__ util.py
control.py magic.py packet.py statfiles.py version.py

We all already agreed we preferred PYTHONPATH to go away, but the
replacement needs to actually work.
I mainly brought up PYTHONPATH as it shows what remains to be fixed, and
how we used to handle the issue. We can always go back to the old
soution that worked, until we find a better way.
Right now, the NTPsec install is broken, and needs a fixed.
What we see that pip does, is edit the sys.path to include the
location an egg is installed. That looks to me like a method
to go forward with.
