Hi Markus, our solution is to make python-bare a little less bare by installing a bare minimum of packages, and also allow users to pick and choose pip-installed packages in virtualenvs where we provide pre-compiled wheels in common cases (e.g. numpy, ...) so this installs just setuptools, pip, virtualenv, wheel, readline and pysqlite.
See here https://github.com/ComputeCanada/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/computecanada-master/easybuild/easyconfigs/p/Python/Python-2.7.14-dummy-dummy.eb this is for the dummy toolchain but could be easily adjusted to GCCcore of course. Credits go to Maxime Boissonneault here.
