New description:
Currently if you specify the egg-path when using setuptools' {{{setup.py
develop}}}, it still places the absolute path in {{{easy_install.pth}}}.
This causes issues with relocation. Currently this only affects the sage
notebook (which works around it by using a sed command), but with #13190
it will also affect the sage library. Since the {{{easy_install.pth}}}
file is regenerated whenever setuptools detects that it needs to be,
trying to use sed commands to work around this issue is unrealistic.

Comment:
I've attached an spkg which includes a work in progress patch that I
intend to submit upstream once finished. It is currently functional for
our purposes, hence the needs review.
