Maybe this test should fail. Path is being appended only if perf is invoked from the build directory (basically if there is python dir near perf binary
this path will be added to sys.path)
I'm not sure if install-bin task installs perf.so to system i mean before this patch python binary contains an absolute path to its build directory
and if this build dir is deleted this test also will fail.
Maybe we should use export PYTHONPATH=<build dir>/python for such test

Thanks,
Denys
