weird problem with offlineimap

[Benjamin Slade]

I thought it had been resolved, but it turns out not to be. (I've just been
running offlineimap and anything that needs to call it from /usr/local/ )

I searched for stray offlineimap.py's, but nothing turned up. I'm not quite
sure what's wrong, as I made sure that /usr/local is in $PYTHONPATH, and I
have offlineimap running fine on a different, but similar, system.
