Python virtual environments do not typically nest; they may inherit from the top-level system packages or not at all. For our purposes, it would be convenient to emulate "nested" virtual environments to allow callers of the configure script to install specific versions of python utilities in order to test build system features, utility version compatibility, etc. While it is possible to install packages into the system environment (say, by using the --user flag), it's nicer to install test packages into a totally isolated environment instead. As detailed in https://www.qemu.org/2023/03/24/python/, Emulate a nested venv environment by using .pth files installed into the site-packages folder that points to the parent environment when appropriate.
