modules installed via python-setuptools cannot be imported from command-line

Binary package hint: python-setuptools

The following commands don't results in a module being successfully imported into python command-line:

$ sudo easy_install gearman
$ python
>>> import gearman
ImportError: No module named gearman

The problem seems to be permissions related: changing the permissions of the installed modules location (/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages) and making it readable by everyone fixes it. The default permissions are readable to root only).

The problem seems to be there for any module which installs to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages (so far all the 5 I have tried).
