When compiling a custom project in casa-distro, a sitecustomize package is created by bv_maker in the /casa/custom/build/python, which hides the sitecustomize package contained in /casa/build/python. The latter is executed explicitly with exec, but it fails to import sitecustomize.bv_maker_pure_python because Python will search for it in /casa/custom/build/python.
Suggested fix: replace the sitecustomize package by a sitecustomize.py module (the Python docs suggest that sitecustomize should be a module, not a package), put the bv_maker_pure_python.pth file directly in /casa/build/python, and simply use site.addsitedir to process the .pth file (see https://docs.python.org/2.6/library/site.html#site.addsitedir).
