It seems strange to me that ArcGIS would put the 'bin'

My rant:
Why the heck do folks using python to script their own tools use a
standard install, but then treat python as their own little playground?
It makes it very difficult to use Python as a general purpose
development tool if ESRI, or whoever, is messing with the environment.
If you want to use python to script your own stuff, either do a private
install, or DO NOT mess with anything global, such as PYTHONPATH.
Sorry, I don't have a solution that won't break ESRI stuff, but I am
telling you that the problem is what they've done, NOT your grasp of the
complexities.
sigh.

no wait -- one possible option: it appears you're having difficulties in
the build/install stage -- if that's it, then you may be able to simply
re-set PYTHONPATH before running setup.py
