A misfeature of the startup/configuration setup:

  Unfortunately, you must modify "PYTHONPATH" both in "zopectl"
  as well as in "runzope".

  Depending on how you start Zope (which "action" you use for "zopectl"),
  the definition in "zopectl" or "runzope" is effective.

Maybe, you consider to file a bug report (as affairs could be improved).
