I guess there are lots of ways you could "run Leo from bzr", but the
method the docs. intend to describe does not require `bzr export`,
and does not install under site-packages. It doesn't really
"install" at all, it just creates a directory "leo-editor" wherever
you run the bzr command. Leo does not end up on the system executable
path or the python module search path. When you run Leo by running the
launchLeo.py script in .../leo-editor/ it finds all the leo.foo.bar
modules it needs because the leo folder is in the same folder as
launchLeo.py.

There should never be any need to look inside the .bzr directory.
