  In order of increasing suckfulness:

    1) Move the packages from /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ to
    /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/

    2) Add /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ to sys.path in
    /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/sitecustomize.py

    3) Add /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ to your PYTHONPATH env
