spyderlib.utils.external overrides modules for script execution

Spyder Version: 2.4.0dev (4077: rc834f104cb5c )
Python Version: 2.7.8
Qt Version : 4.8.6, PyQt4 (API v2) 4.11.1 on Linux
pyflakes >=0.5.0: 0.5.0 (OK)
pep8 >=0.6 : 1.4.6 (OK)
IPython >=0.13 : 2.2.0 (OK)
pygments >=1.6 : 1.6 (OK)
pandas >=0.13.1 : 0.14.1 (OK)
sphinx >=0.6.6 : 1.2.2 (OK)
psutil >=0.3 : 2.1.1 (OK)
jedi >=0.8.0 : 0.8.1-final0 (OK)
matplotlib >=1.0: 1.3.1 (OK)
sympy >=0.7.0 : 0.7.5 (OK)
pylint >=0.25 : 1.3.0 (OK)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Install path.py from pip
   1. Type in the console or execute a script:
      import path
      print(path.file)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The printed path is [...]/spyderlib/utils/external/path.pyc, while I expect to get the module installed on the system. Spyder should not change the execution environment for scripts at all.

Please provide any additional information below

.
The path.py module in spyder is outdated, that's how I discovered the problem.
The problem is the same when launched via 'spyder' or 'bootstrap.py'
