You have found out that the execution of "site.py" inserts the invalid entries to "sys.path". I remember that there is a document (it was somewhere on "python.org", when I last read it, but this was years ago) which describes what "site.py" does. In particular, it interprets "*.pth" files it finds via "sys.path" and extends "sys.path" according to the content of those files. I find it quite likely, that one of those "*.pth" files might cause the wrong entry in your "sys.path". > Also note that the sys.prefix is "/usr" > I think it should be "/usr/lib/python2.7" or > "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7" I think this is correct: Python expects the directory corresponding to "prefix" to have subdirectories "bin", "lib/python<version>" and "include". -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
