I'm also on 10.8.

NPSC: nicholas$ set | grep PYTHON
NPSC: nicholas$

The only user configuration I've done is to create the following
configuration file:

NPSC:~ nicholas$ cat .pydistutils.cfg
[install]
install_lib = ~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/site-packages
install_scripts = ~/bin

I should say, this has been a problem for all of the python3.3 alpha
and beta releases, on previous releases of OS X.

I can't understand why it works on your setup, though, because I
haven't done anything at all (that I can think of) that ought of
affect it.  I wonder if the logic that adds the directory to sys.path
is being too clever for everyone's good?

Best wishes,

N.
