Como configurar o PYTHONPATH para um pacote snap?

Estou tentando empacotar um projeto python não puro. Usei pythono plug-in com scripts de compilação/instalação personalizados.

Este projeto contém 2 pacotes python necessários para o aplicativo de desktop:

• alfanous(API)
• alfanous-desktop(GUI do Qt PySide)

snapcraft.yamlArquivo:

name: alfanous
version: "0.7.8"
summary: Alfanous
description: GNU hello prints a friendly greeting.
  This is part of the snapcraft tour at http://snapcraft.io/create/
#confinement: strict

apps:
  alfanous-gui:
    command: usr/bin/alfanous-desktop
    #desktop: usr/share/applications/my-app.desktop
  alfanous-cli:
    command: usr/bin/alfanous-console

parts:
  alfanous-git:

      make install_api DESTDIR=$SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL
      make install_desktop DESTDIR=$SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL
    stage-packages:
      - python-pyparsing

      #- sphinx
      - python-babel
      - python-setuptools
    python-packages:
      - pyparsing
      - pyside
      - babel

O pacote snap é construído e instalado sem erros. No entanto, se eu tentar executá-lo:

$ alfanous.alfanous-cli
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/snap/alfanous/x3/usr/bin/alfanous-console", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/snap/alfanous/x3/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2927, in <module>
    @_call_aside
  File "/snap/alfanous/x3/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2913, in _call_aside
    f(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/snap/alfanous/x3/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2940, in _initialize_master_working_set
    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()
  File "/snap/alfanous/x3/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 635, in _build_master
    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "/snap/alfanous/x3/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 943, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/snap/alfanous/x3/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 829, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'alfanous==0.7.29' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Meu primeiro suspeito é incompleto PYTHONPATH, tentando depurar:

snap run --shell alfanous.alfanous-cli
env | grep -i python

não traz nada.

e ambos os pacotes estão lá:

$ ls /snap/alfanous/current/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
alfanous                        alfanousDesktop
alfanous-0.7.29-py2.7.egg-info  alfanousDesktop-0.7.29-py2.7.egg-info

Como eu poderia configurar PYTHONPATHcorretamente? O plugin python não deveria cuidar disso?
