Bug Description

Debugging why `import google.protobuf` wasn't working inside a snap, I found that snapcraft only puts $SNAP/lib/python*/site-packages into site.addsitedir(). As I was using pip inside a scriptlet without additional environment variables or command line parameters, it was installing the modules to $SNAP/usr/lib/python*/site-packages. This meant that python was looking in the wrong place for protobuf-3.4.0-py2.7-nspkg.pth.

Can we include $SNAP/usr/lib in a list fed to site.addsitedir()?

Can you call the python that is in $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/bin/python instead of calling python from the host?

Regardless, I'll look into this this week.

Unless I've misunderstood I'm already doing that on https://github.com/evandandrea/tensorflow-snap/blob/86d3eb919522aeed188861b5e93e38a105b0b5c9/snapcraft.yaml#L52

In case it wasn't clear: "and this is where we started" is what the tensorflow team came up with and "for reference" is the final version I wrote.
