When you say PYTHONPATH, do you mean:

1) "a custom directory set in the environment variable PYTHONPATH"
or
2) A directory that python searches.

#1 is PYTHONPATH. #2 is sys.path, not PYTHONPATH.

If you're advocating that ntpsec's default should install to a
non-standard place, such that a user MUST configure a custom PYTHONPATH
environment variable, I think literally everyone else here disagrees
with you. We are all trying to figure out how to make it work by
default. There is admittedly some disagreement as to whether that goal
is higher or lower priority than respecting --prefix.
