+Subject: [PATCH] NIXOS: don't ignore PYTHONPATH
+
+On NixOS or rather within nixpkgs we provide the runtime Python
+packages via the PYTHONPATH environment variable. FreeCAD tries its
+best to ignore Python environment variables that are being inherited
+from the environment. For Python versions >=3.11 it also tries to
+initialize the interpreter config without any environmental data. We
+have to initialize the configuration *with* the information from the
+environment for our packaging to work.
+
+Upstream has purposely isolated the environments AFAIK and thus
+shouldn't accept this patch (as is). What they might accept (once
+support for older Python versions has been dropped) is removing the
+PYTHONPATH specific putenv calls.
