Presumably that “/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper” reference is
hard-coded in the source. The solution in situations like this is to
replace it (using ‘substitute*’) by the absolute file name of the
corresponding program in /gnu/store.
(substitute* "some/file.py"
(("/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper")
(search-input-file inputs "/bin/qemu-bridge-helper")))
HTH!
