Setting sys.path when building python

[Brian Reynolds]

I'm a python newbie so this may be trivially answered somewhere I
haven't had a chance to read yet.

As built out of the box (i.e., './configure; make; make test; make
install') the value of sys.path includes the current working directory
(i.e., '.').  On a multiuser OS this is a Bad Idea(tm).

I would like to build python so that the built in default value of
sys.path does not include the current working directory.  How would I
go about doing this?  I guess what I'm looking for is the source file
where sys.path is initialized when python is built.
