First, let me admit that I'm not an expert at Python.

I'm trying to test the newer versions of SQLAlchemy before I install
it on my server.  According to
http://docs.python.org/inst/search-path.html, the PYTHONPATH should
add paths to the beginning of sys.path.  The docs at
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-site.html do not mention PYTHONPATH
at all (which is irritating).

Anyway, what I'm seeing is that easy-install.pth has
"./setuptools-0.6c3-py2.5.egg" and "./SQLAlchemy-0.3.1-py2.5.egg"

When I check the sys.path value, I'm getting blank, setuptools,
SQLAlchemy, and THEN the contents of PYTHONPATH.

Really from the Python documentation, PYTHONPATH sounds like it will
go at the front.  But this isn't what is going on.

What is the best way to have a system-installed SQLAlchemy (for
others) and then override it by the user (me) to test new versions?
