python plugin messing with snapcraft env
Metadata
Current evaluation
Python plugin leaking snapcraft's site-packages into builds, causing environment pollution. This issue appears to describe the same problem fixed in snapcraft#2901.
Suggested action: close not a bug
Reason: The reported issue describes the same problem as snapcraft#2901, which was merged and fixed the site-packages leak by conditionally exporting $SNAP/site-packages only when SNAPCRAFT_INTERPRETER is set. Since the underlying bug has already been resolved, this issue should be closed as a duplicate.
