I don't get what you're saying: 1) "I can use a package if I set PYTHONPATH to ~/nix-profile/lib/python2.7/site-packages/packagename.egg" 2) "I tried just setting the path to the site-packages directory [..] but doesn't seem to work" You know that you can pass multiple paths separated by :? eg PYTHONPATH=a:b:c where a,b,c are paths to packages? Also google for PYTHONUSERBASE. In the past I felt running into .pth realted trouble, but probabli this all is gone.
