71	python: X:/USR is returned instead of /@unixroot/usr	Yuri Dario		"With support for virtual env, now python returns /USR for system path. This breaks installation scripts, because files are not remapped to correct %UNIXROOT% drive but written to default drive.

dmik:
1. Fix setup.py machinery so that it leaves the drive letter in, i.e. in your example it should give this:

X:/USR/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urlgrabber/byterange.py

2. Fix setup.py machinery so that it replaces X:/USR back with /@unixroot/usr

3. Fix dynamic python sys.path detection so that it replaces X:/USR with /@unixroot/usr when it’s run from X:/USR/bin.

I think 3 is the most long term effective solution as it requires less modifications in 3rd party software. If we agree on that I may look back into the place where I fixed it (to make sys.path dynamic and hence fix virtualenv and some other things).

I want to remind that the source of this problem is that /@unixroot is not a real dir on OS/2 but something like a symlink (from the LIBC point of view)."	defect	closed	Feedback Pending		python		highest	fixed
