$ python3
Python 3.3.3 (default, Dec  8 2013, 16:34:29)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from sys import path
>>> path
['', '/usr/lib/python3.3', '/usr/lib/python3.3/plat-i386-linux-gnu',

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Dec  6 2013, 21:56:56)

So as far as I can see (on a debian linux system) the paths are
clearly 2.7-prefixed or 3.3-prefixed.

So apart from being stupid and/or malicious to munge sys.path to tread
on the other python's toes...???

Oh ok I get what you are saying: python3 will not recognize a python2
package and install it seemingly correctly but actually wrongly
