[bugfix] Set pythonpath to a fixed location relative to build path

The `pythonpath` variable in the `python.py` EasyBlock is used to create
temporary directories to store build artifacts. However, there are 2
problems with the current definition of the `pythonpath` instance field:

- it uses the log directory to store build artifacts, and
- the functions that use `pythonpath` do not accept a full path.

The `build_path()` function cannot be used instead of `log_path()` as the
function provides a full path as well. Thus we opted to hard-code a
relative path with respect to the build directory.
