Research direction

Start by reviewing the historical patches, especially python-2.7-issue1674555.v2.patch, and inspect the test and build setup that constructs sys.path. Reproduce the issue in the supported test environments. Done means the test sys.path no longer contains unintended system directories and the relevant test suite passes.
