I'm no python (or nixos) expert, but someone on IRC said they have
PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:/run/current-system/sw/lib/python2.7/site-packages.
I tried it myself and it works.

Why isn't PYTHONPATH set to this by default? Or is this the bug - that
PYTHONPATH no longer is set?
