 The purpose of the line is to prevent upgrade problems when setuptools
 comes with backwards-incompatible changes as happened earlier this year.
 
 Putting the work directory inside prefix sounds somewhat unorthodox to
 me but if you'd like you can change the regex to
 '^' + sys.base_prefix + '/lib'
 in order to avoid this specific problem [unless you name your work
 directory libwork at which point I'll wave my hands].
 I'm fine with that change but am not in a position to commit it myself
 at the moment.
