Comment(by sascha_silbe):

 I've found the code and am actually surprised it would work on any system:

 pippy_app.py:go_button_cb()

 {{{
         self._pid = self._vte.fork_command \
                     (command="/bin/sh",
                      argv=["/bin/sh", "-c",
                            "python %s; sleep 1" % pippy_app_name],
                      envv=["PYTHONPATH=%s/library" % get_bundle_path()],
                      directory=get_bundle_path())
 }}}

 As you see it sets PYTHONPATH to a single directory. This will override
 the PYTHONPATH set by sugar-jhbuild. Only built-in (i.e. system) paths and
 the Pippy library path will work. That's why pippy, os, sys etc. can be
 used, but nothing from Sugar.
