Hello everyone, IO hope this is the right mailing list. I maintain an image processing library with a pygobject Python binding, plus a set of overrides.
http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/supported/current/doc/html/libvips/using-from-python.html A very common install problem is that the user uses the pygobject that came with their system, which has overrides somewhere like: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides but installs my package from source to /usr/local, so of course it puts the overrides in: /usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides and they are not found. The only solution (have I missed something?) seems to be to copy the overrides file by hand to the system area. This is obviously very ugly and fragile. We have GI_TYPELIB_PATH to help the system find typelibs which are not in the right place, should there be an equivalent for overrides?
