Normally you should not need to set PYTHONPATH when using the system
Python.  Although, I can't see how setting it to that value could cause
harm.  

You can see what path Python is actually using via:

  python -c 'import sys; print sys.path'
  ['', '/usr/lib64/python24.zip', '/usr/lib64/python2.4',
   '/usr/lib64/python2.4/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-tk',
   '/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload',
   '/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages',
   '/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric',
   '/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0',
   '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages']

And, here is my select module:

  python -c 'import select; print select'
  <module 'select' from '/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload/selectmodule.so'>

This is on SL5.3.  Maybe it helps you spot some inconsistency....
