In bin/inkscape we *prepend* the internal path to our python modules to the PYTHONPATH, so those will be found and used first and user-installed ones will be ignored. In consequence, you have to edit/comment this line if you want to use your modules.... I think ;)

Hmm - shouldn't this be the other way around? Try system-wide first, then fall back to bundled libs if need be? Particularly since the bundled version of lxml (and numpy?) is quite dated it seems to make sense to me - but then again I have no experience packaging for OSX.

In the end, my client opened the .app bundle and replaced lxml with a newer version- and this got things rolling again.
