>>Previously various python packages would fail to work unless the store they

>>
>>* gnu/packages/patches/python-2.7-site-prefixes.patch.in: New file that causes
>>  python <at> 2.7 to honor NIX_STORE at runtime or, if it isn't set, to use the
>>  NIX_STORE available when it was built.
>>
>>* gnu/packages/patches/python-2.7-site-prefixes.patch: Removed.
>>
>>* gnu/packages/python.scm (python-2.7): generates a patch from
>>  python-2.7-site-prefixes.patch.in at build-time and applies it.
>>  (python-3.7): don't apply that patch.
>>  (python2-minimal): inputs still need to include the patch utility and the
>>  patch.
>>
>>* gnu/local.mk: adjust patch name since it's been suffixed with ".in".

> Given that Python 2.7 is now EOL and Python 3 doesn't seem to use this
> NIX_STORE patch in the first place, is this patch still relevant?

Let’s close it and Caleb or anyone is welcome to reopen it if there’s
interest.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
