There is only python2.2.3 on my machine, and the location is
/usr/local/lib/python2.2 . I say the 'C/lib/python2.2/' is a wrong path is
because the leading C/lib is not point to the location of my python
installation. I'v found the solution anyway. The environment variable
PYTHONHOME controls the content of the initial sys.path. put
export PYTHONHOME=/usr/local in .bash_profile will fix it.
