Package: pypy
Version: 2.6.1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Why pypy is specified as the interpreter for a virtualenv, the layout
is significantly different than the layout for cpython virtualenvs.
I noticed this because with cpython, it is possible to install more than
one executable to the same virtualenv directory, and the files do not
interfere, but with pypy they do.
I believe this is Debian-specific, since upstreams uses cpython's
site-packages by design (at least, the pypy3 build does, I haven't
needed to install upstream pypy2).
In particular:
* pypy installs `include/` as a symlink instead of a directory containing
symlinks (can be fixed with --always-copy, but ugh)
* pypy installs site-packages/ at the top level instead of in
lib/python2.7/
