				See extensive discussion in https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/8433#issuecomment-2430472849. This PR brings us into alignment with the standard library by using `sys._base_executable` rather than canonicalizing the executable path. The benefits are primarily for Homebrew, where we'll now resolve to paths like `/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.12/bin` instead of the undesirable `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.19_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin`. Most other users should see no change, though in some cases, nested virtual environments now have slightly different behavior -- namely, they _sometimes_ resolve to the virtual environment Python (at least for Homebrew; not for rtx or uv Pythons though). See [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vw5ClYEjgrBJJhQiwa3cCenIA1GbcRyudYN9NwQaEcM/edit?gid=0#gid=0) for a breakdown. Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1640. Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1795.  |
