I think there are two separate bugs here:

1) rt.py (or something it uses) doesn't set up sys.path correctly for  
localization to work.

2) The fact that running Python after a "make install" results in a  
sys.path that doesn't work for localization and running after a "make  
distrib" results in a different, but correct sys.path for  
localization. Running Python after a "make install" or "make distrib"  
should not affect Python's sys.path for localization, right?

Committing the fix for bug 1 will mask bug 2, on the tinderboxes but  
this doesn't mean that bug 2 is fixed. For example, running from Wing  
after a make install will still result in the incorrect localization,  
which makes it important to get fixed.
