Problem:

Scapy-ssl_tls/setup.py copies its layers to:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\python27\lib\site-packages\scapy\layers
when wheel package is installed.

get_layer_files_dst() method returns list of tuples (, []), where is an absolute path. According to distutils documentation it should copy these files where we expect, but it does not work because wheel module does not support absolute paths, and they end up being installed relative to site-packages.

Solution:

Relative (to sys.prefix) path to scapy installation directory is used now.
