Bug 579560 – pythonpath modifications make meld crash

[Vincent Legoll <vincent legoll gmail com>]

If there is a paths.py or misc.py, or whatever we internally
use, in the user's PYTHONPATH, meld will crash at startup...

This has happened to people:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meld/+bug/360097
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meld/+bug/250525
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471154

This may not be considered as a bug in meld itself, but
users are annoyed...

What about committing the following patch which is an
adaptation of the debian workaround ?
