The 'stdlib compileall' function writes stage directory into *.pyc files

Description

I need to install a python package into a stage directory.

The command I run from the source directory is:

pip install {my-pkg-name} --isolated --root=/tmp/stage/dir --prefix=/usr/local --ignore-installed --no-deps

This command installs the package into the right location, but *.cpython-39.pyc files have full paths to *.py files in the stage directory.

If paths of *.py are needed they should be adjusted so that they should begin with prefix (/usr/local). This is because the source directory will be deleted before the package is run.

Pip uses cpython's stdlib compileall function that inserts stage directory paths.

How to Reproduce

git clone https://github.com/openqasm/openqasm-pygments.git
cd openqasm-pygments
pip install openqasm-pygments --isolated --root=/tmp/openqasm-pygments --prefix=/usr/local --ignore-installed --no-deps

Start by reproducing the pip installation using the openqasm-pygments package, --root=/tmp/openqasm-pygments, and --prefix=/usr/local, then inspect Python's stdlib compileall behavior. Verify where the generated .cpython-39.pyc files record source paths; done means installed bytecode paths no longer include the staging directory and instead begin with the installation prefix.
