Hi,
as often before, I've cloned a working system (GenToo) onto another
machine. There, from a livecd and chroot to the cloned root partition
python -v
import site
fails with the following error
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Oct 13 2010, 09:06:24)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I'm puzzled and I'd appreciate any hints to the reason for this failure.
Many thanks,
Helmut.
