[Nix-dev] nix store: hardlink vs symlink

[Peter Simons]

Hi Florian,

it seems to me like Python is behaving perfectly reasonable. The prefix of
Python is at /nix/store/vzpvrymynp4n93bznxha6hadj0ww68vx-python-2.7.1. The
other paths, /tmp/cfl/bad or /tmp/cfl/good1, are not its prefix.

Why would you want Python to believe that its prefix would be at one of those
paths?

Take care,
Peter
