It's used around here.  But we all have to do:
export PYTHONPATH=3D${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/local/ipython/lib/python
in our .bashrc files -- or whatever you do if you don't use bash
to get things to work with ipython.

Is your problem that you are not getting one particular directory
loaded, or can you not find any modules at all?
