Well this is a very helpful list. First time I've seen them all at  
once. Are there any more?
Turns out that /etc/profile actually listened to my request to:
export PYTHONPATH=''
where the others just ignored it.
In addition I found that it was in:
> ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
where I had set  PYTHONPATH to

and then forgot I had done it!
Now I have removed that.
Anyhow it seems to have done the trick. So many thanks.
I will flag your email in case I forget again.
