My setup-requires wrapper, adding pre-setup.py dependency installation to setup.py, relies on this feature. It needs to install something in a directory that is only added to PYTHONPATH during the installation and does not interfere with the normal environment.
Python packages that create (and need) scripts, or use data_files,
won't work with --target. Using a --prefix and setting PYTHONPATH
*and* PATH appropriately would be better.
