add module to pythonpath - nothing works

I don't have root access so I installed psycopg2 module to /opt (I have permission for that directory): 

$python setup.py install --prefix=/opt

I've tried several methods: 

#.bashrc        
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/lib/python2.4/site-packages/psycopg2/
export PATH

or 

#.bash_profile  
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
export PATH

I also tried sys.path.append('/opt/lib/python2.4/site-packages/psycopg2/')

nothing works: 

$python  
>>>import psycopg2
>>>no psycopg2 module

Neither /opt/lib/python2.4/site-packages/psycopg2/ or /opt/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ path works

Please help, thank you

Try $PYTHONPATH instead of $PATH in your bash configuration file. For more info look at the official documentation on this topic.
