[issue46028] 3.11.0a3: under tox, sys._base_executable is wrong

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

Does the first venv's 'python' link to python3[.11]? If so, maybe _base_executable should be based on real_executable's filename rather than executable (that is, *after* resolving symlinks rather than before).

I don't *think* that will cause any issues, and it shouldn't be any more expensive to compute. Only has to change for when a pyvenv.cfg is detected I think.
