[Python.NET] importing eggs. does pythonnet not use respect the easy-install.pth file?

[John Burkhart]

This is my current work-around

## Seems to be a required hack for pythonnet
if 'pythonnet' in sys.executable:
    try:
        import site
        site.addsitedir(r'C:\Python27\lib\site-packages')
    except:
        print sys.path
