[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've recently tried to run cura but it kept crashing because it couldn't find shared libraries.
As it turns out, python adds directories in the home directory to the search path and a pyqt5 installed by pip managed to be loaded, which obviously won't work.
This patch addresses this by adding a small snippet of code to the top of bin/cura that clears out all paths from sys.path that don't start with /gnu.

Hey, TY Jakob for working on that.

I'm in the process of trying to get Cura to build on the next
python-team branch (for the sake of python-team, I don't use Cura).

I'll apply the patch there and test with it.  Could I ping you to review
if the package works as expected once I'm done making the build pass on
python-team?
