+.IP PYTHONHOME
+Change the location of the standard Python libraries. By default, the
+libraries are searched in <prefix>/lib/python<version> and
+<exec_prefix>/lib/python<version>, where <prefix> and <exec_prefix>
+are installation-dependent directories, both defaulting to
+/usr/local. When $PYTHONHOME is set to a single directory, its value
+replaces both <prefix> and <exec_prefix>. To specify different values
+for these, set $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>:<exec_prefix>.
.IP PYTHONPATH
Augments the default search path for module files.
The format is the same as the shell's $PATH: one or more directory
pathnames separated by colons.
Non-existant directories are silently ignored.
-The default search path is installation dependent, but always begins

+The default search path is installation dependent, but generally

If a script argument is given, the directory containing the script is
