To give a bit of context, the bug was already open against Mandriva: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50484 Mageia simply inherited Mandriva's policy: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3348 The reason you might not hear much about python-virtualenv users is that: 1. they are likely to have already fixed their system as I did (i.e., remove the PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE setting); 2. they are likely to fetch the upstream virtualenv, since it's a trivial package to install.
