I had no problem setting $PYTHONPATH - it just needs to be set to
whatever value PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR has. So I would definitely
advise allowing to override PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR for those who'd
like to do that. I modified config/PythonExtraLibs.cmake:56 so that
it's possible to set -DPYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR when running cmake.

IF(NOT DEFINED PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR)
  SET(PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR "")
  PythonLibs_get_site_package_dir (PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR)
ENDIF(NOT DEFINED PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_DIR)

It worked as expected for me.

Yes, for some reason I chose to disregard that space. Worldtest works
now (even though the NPC seems to enjoy falling off the edge of the
world).

With that said, I'd like to help with development of adonthell. I'd
like to ask, which of the open tasks would you recommend to begin
with? I may be a little slow at the beginning, so I'd like to know
which ones are not actively worked upon by other people at the moment.

I'd also like to ask - did anyone manage to set Eclipse CDT for
adonthell correctly? When I try, it reports a horrendous amount of
"Symbol Undefined" errors in nearly every file, mostly related to
python, even though the program builds just fine. I admit I didn't
really look that deep into it, since I don't really need Eclipse, but
since you recommend it for development, I'm just curious.
