I got the instruction to use sage -sh to install some PSage modules. However, many environment variables seem to be messed up. It has /usr/local/bin and others prioritized before the Sage dirs.

I manually edited the $PATH variable to update this issue, via set PATH /Applications/sage-5.8/spkg/bin /Applications/sage-5.8/local/bin /usr/bin/ /bin /sbin.

However, now Cython still has problems to find the right module. When starting it, it looks like:

az@ip229 ~/P/psage> cython -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/sage-5.8/local/bin/cython", line 7, in <module>
    from Cython.Compiler.Main import main

    from Scanning import PyrexScanner, FileSourceDescriptor

Update: Doing set PYTHONPATH /Applications/sage-5.8/local/lib/python fixed at least this particular problem with Cython.

Is there any suggestion about what I can do to easily overcome these problems?
