First of all, check whether python support in QGIS is working correctly.
What QGIS version are you running?
Does it show any error messages on startup?
Can you open python console? (in menu Plugins)

These paths should be automatically added to python's path on QGIS
startup. You can check that in python console within QGIS:
>>> sys.path
and it should give you a list of paths being searched with these two
at the begin.
