It's required on Fedora. I set it up ages ago. I think that was the
recommended way back then. It worked. Nobody raised the issue so I never
removed it. It kept on working. (Or maybe the word did go out and I missed
it.)
Fedora 26
[murray at hgm ~]$ printenv PYTHONPATH
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
[murray at hgm ~]$ ntpq --version
ntpq ntpsec-0.9.7+1434 2017-09-24T02:08:48Z
[murray at hgm ~]$ unset PYTHONPATH
[murray at hgm ~]$ ntpq --version
ntpq: can't find Python NTP library -- check PYTHONPATH.
No module named ntp.control
[murray at hgm ~]$
I get the same on FreeBSD.
Should ntpq be able to print its version string without any libraries?

These are my opinions. I hate spam.
