Description

When I try to run `pyoxidizer run` within a virtualenv I get this error:

```
thread 'main' panicked at 'unable to get directory entry: Error { depth: 0, inner: Io { path: Some("./env/lib/python3.9/
site-packages"), err: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" } } }', /home//.carg
o/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/python-packaging-0.11.0/src/filesystem_scanning.rs:117:35
```

Why is it looking for python3.9?

Research direction

Start with `pyoxidizer run` and `python-packaging-0.11.0/src/filesystem_scanning.rs:117`, then inspect how the virtualenv interpreter and site-packages path are selected. Reproduce the error in a Python 3.7 virtualenv and determine why scanning targets `./env/lib/python3.9/site-packages`; done means the command uses the environment's actual path without panicking.
