Interestingly it works today. Perhaps I had set $PYTHONPATH indeed
to the swig/python/ directory as suggested in the examples:

grep PYTHONPATH examples/*
examples/m.distance.py:    #   export PYTHONPATH=/usr/src/grass70/swig/python
examples/rasteraccess.py:export PYTHONPATH=/usr/src/grass70/swig/python
examples/vectoraccess.py:#   export PYTHONPATH=/usr/src/grass70/swig/python

In a new terminal it works.
