I have installed Python2.0 in a Linux 2.2 box under /usr/local/python/

I can define PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH pointing to the correct places and everything will work fine, but If I just do to include "/usr/local/python/bin/" in the PATH, python is unable to find any module from the standart module set.

Is this the correct behaviour?

This is not correct behavior, but the problem is probably in how your system is set up. Is PATH exported? Are there other Python installations? Are all the permissions set correctly? 

The best clue may be: what is sys.path when it doesn't work? (It should still be able to import "sys" even if everything else fails). Also try python -v.

Haven't received a followup from the (anonymous) user.
Probably a system configuration error.
Closing this for lack of more info.
