Hi Andy, so you could change the store location, but it would just create the same stone structure as /gnu/store elsewhere, with the same issues and no substitutes.
Instead you could try to create a relocatable pack of python, and untar it somewhere writable. There might be a small runtime penalty, but we're talking about python anyway :) HTH!
