Is there a way to allow my python test to use the user site packages?

That is, packages in PYTHONUSERBASE (https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONUSERBASE) ?

Thanks.

Note that would be non-hermetic, so potentially a bad idea.

But, anyway: I'm not sure about PYTHONUSERBASE, but I've been using virtualenv and it just worked. I had activated the virtualenv first, then run bazel and the tests just used the packages.

Do you use non-standard PYTHONUSERBASE? In this case you can try passing --test_env=PYTHONUSERBASE=/foo/bar to the tests and see if it helps.
