The interesting thing is that it opens the right libpython:

  open("/gnu/store/7q9nn76r76hnxbfxyv6asishx58jc420-python-2.7.12/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

but then it does this:

… and from there, chaos ensues.

I’m not sure where those /usr/lib file names come from though.

Note that Scribus hard-codes a whole bunch of program file names (not
that of ‘python’, though), which may lead to problems down the path, at
least on GuixSD:
