See https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/130/install_data-doesnt-respect-prefix

This is currently needed for some packages like xpra.

  • update Python docs
  • fix packages using the current workaround
  • open PR upstream

Current workaround for xpra: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/X11/xpra/default.nix#L45

@domenkozar what do you think, if it’s just one line, why don’t we patch it?

Since this issue was opened we've changed how we install packages (we use wheels since 2015). Even so, the issue is still valid. See e.g. #23438. Closing this one in favor of that issue.
