## Summary This PR migrates our virtualenv creation from a setup that assumes prior knowledge of the correct paths, to a technique borrowed from `virtualenv` whereby we use `sysconfig` and `distutils` to determine the paths. The general trick is to grab the expected paths with `sysconfig`, then make them all relative, then make them absolute for a given directory. Closes #2095. Closes #2153.

sysconfig.get_paths()returned by the interpreter in the virtual environment later. The paths seem to be correct for CPython, but they're not quite right for PyPy, and could be wrong in general for unusual distros.If you look at virtualenv, my understanding is that it does something like...
sysconfig.get_path()without expanding variables.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
