[Zope] i18ndude broke my zope 2.8.8

[Peter Bengtsson]

Starting my Zope 2.8.8 development copy was working fine until I 
[easy_]installed i18ndude. Now I get this::

   File "/home/peterbe/zope/zope288/lib/python/TAL/TALInterpreter.py", 
line 31, in ?
     from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageID
  ImportError: cannot import name MessageID


That's because of the zope.i18nmessageid that was installed (as an egg) 
when installed i18n dude.

I edited TALInterpreter.py to do this, on line 30:
import sys; from pprint import pprint; pprint(sys.path)
Now I get the following when I run ./bin/runzope

I thought the first path in sys.path is where it should start to search. 
I can happily do this::

  peterbe at trillian:~/zope/zope288/lib/python $ python2.4
  Python 2.4.4 (#2, Mar  7 2007, 19:12:09)
  [GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from zope.i18nmessageid import MessageID
  >>>


What to do? Why isn't the sys.path order "respected"?
