OS: Ubuntu 13.10

1) vi /home/user/.profile shows

PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/home/user/folder/script/_lib/"
export PYTHONPATH

2) printenv shows

PYTHONPATH=:/home/user/folder/script/_lib/

3) _lib/ contains lib.py

4) python test.py gives ImportError: No module named lib

5) Above error is given on line from lib import *

6) If i put my script & library file in same directory ; I don't get any error

Did anyone else encounter this problem?
