Are you sure?  Looking at site.py, it appears that the sitecustomize
import is done next-to-last, just before sys.setdefaultencoding is
deleted.  If you concluded this by examining sys.path manually at
the point just as sitecustomize is imported, maybe you don't know
that the '' entry in sys.path actually represents the source
directory of the main script...

It would seem your suggested solution above should actually work...
