Hi, I personally disagree with trying to make Sage's python and the general environment be as isolated as possibly from each other. We should try to interoperate with the greater Python world as much as possible, not change things to discourage that. If you want total isolation, use Docker, don't mess with environment variables like this...
I realize that this might just get closed due to philosophical differences. How about just document PYTHONUSERBASE in our FAQ or something (like it is in python) and trust users to have a clue? I've made https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/21456 about this. However, the authors of the new code in Sage that sets PYTHONUSERBASE if it isn't set, might have a very different opinion, and for a good reason.
