This is very strange.

When I do the exact same thing, it works fine for me; I get the correct path to the Python interpreter embedded in the qmtest script.  The code that does this is in distutils/commands/build_scripts.py in the Python distribution.  The best thing I can think of is that maybe the Python you have was originally installed in /usr/local -- or built with a --prefix=/usr/local, and that it was then copied into your home directory, and that therefore the compiled version of build_scripts.pyc contains bogus data somehow.

I'm sorry not to be more help: I think you'll have to debug through your local distutils to figure out what's going wrong.
