I just installed git head.  No PYTHONPATH:

spidey ntpsec # ntpq -up
ntpq: can't find Python NTP library.
No module named 'ntp'

When I add PYTHONPATH it works again:

spidey ntpsec # export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib64/python3.4/site-packages
spidey ntpsec # ntpq -up
[...]

When I unset PYTHONPATH, it is broken again:

spidey ntpsec # unset PYTHONPATH
spidey ntpsec # ntpq -up
ntpq: can't find Python NTP library.
No module named 'ntp'

This is why all the commits that ripped out PYTHONPATH stuff need to be
reverted.

This is how this whole mess got started.
