Our sitecustomize.py is indeed not run at all, so this definitely is a different problem. Evidence: Run Rutherther's example, adding the -v option. The long output is attached, both for "./profile/bin/python3 -v" and "$(realpath ./profile/bin/python3) -v". Search for "site-packages" to find the interesting parts. If you don't use realpath, large parts of the initialization are not done. There are lots of ../../ in the path shown in these log files. If Python resolves them lexically, as the normpath function does, that would probably explain most of these issues. Cheers, Konrad.
