How did you gather this knowledge? It helps a lot to see what you're
actually doing.

What I did is the following:

- Create a director ~/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages
- Symlink packages from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages into that dir.

For example, I have the following in that dir:

scipy -> /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scipy/
scipy-0.14.0.egg-info -> /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scipy-0.14.0.egg-info
shapely -> /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/shapely/
Shapely-1.3.0.egg-info -> /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Shapely-1.3.0.egg-info

This allows me to import shapely and scipy into Blender 2.75-rc1 just
fine:

>>> import shapely
>>> shapely.__file__
'/home/sybren/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/shapely/__init__.py'

If you run into any issues, don't hesitate to mail back with a nice
error message ;-)

Best,
