Indeed.  The  system-site-packages option to the venv module is used 21 times, mostly 
in python-dependencies and python-modules. Almost all are in the context of running 
tests.  This seems to be a rather unusual situation as I can't recall documenting an 
option for tests.

For Python packages we don't document Python3/pip3 modules like wheel (in LFS), 
install, pytest, or venv. Most of those are fairly obvious, but venv might not jump 
out to new users.

I'm not sure what the best option is for this issue.
