That's normal as site.py is automatically imported on initialisation.
So when you do:
import site
the module is not re-executed as it already has been imported.
Try this:
---- file: foo.py
print 'Foo'
---- end
--- Interactive session
>>> import foo # First time, print statement executed
Foo
>>> import foo # Second time, print statement not executed

Now you explicitely call site.main(), so it executes it!

It's normal, this time it's the first time you import it so its content
is executed.
