The 'PYTHONSTARTUP' hook: https://github.com/bioidiap/bob.buildout/blob/master/bob/buildout/python.py#L66 to get the paths right that we have established in the ./bin/python script only works for interactive shells: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/interactive.html?highlight=pythonstartup#id1

Hence, it has no effect, when you run a script.py in the current directory, which requires the setup of the system:

$ ./bin/python script.py

However, you can get things right, when you

import pkg_resources

as the first line in script.py.

I am not sure if we need to take any action for this. I opened this bug mainly to keep track of this issue.
