[pypy-issue] [issue1572] py3k: import site-packages at startup

[Renaud Blanch]

New submission from Renaud Blanch <rndblnch at gmail.com>:

pypy3 does not import packages installed into site-packages on Mac OS X 10.8 (presumably due to a 
misconfigured site.USER_SITE):

    [esperluet:~] blanch% ../Shared/src/pypy3-2.1-beta1-osx64/bin/pypy 
    Python 3.2.3 (d63636b30cc0, Jul 30 2013, 07:02:48)
    [PyPy 2.1.0-beta1 with GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Clang Compiler] on darwin
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    And now for something completely different: ``pypy is a race between the
    industry trying to build machines with more and more resources, and the pypy
    developers trying to eat all of them. So far, the winner is still unclear''
    >>>> import sys
    >>>> assert any(path.endswith("site-packages") for path in sys.path)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    AssertionError
    >>>> sys.path
    ['', '/Users/Shared/src/pypy3-2.1-beta1-osx64/lib_pypy/__extensions__', '/Users/Shared/src/pypy3-
2.1-beta1-osx64/lib_pypy', '/Users/Shared/src/pypy3-2.1-beta1-osx64/lib-python/3', 
'/Users/Shared/src/pypy3-2.1-beta1-osx64/lib-python/3/lib-tk', '/Users/Shared/src/pypy3-2.1-beta1-

'/Users/Shared/src/pypy3-2.1-beta1-osx64/lib-python/3/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages']
    >>>> import site
    >>>> site.USER_SITE
    '/Users/blanch/.local/lib/python3.2/site-packages'
    >>>> import os
    >>>> os.path.exists(site.USER_SITE)
    False
