Before you attempt to build and install this package, please ensure that you have all the requirements met.
We highly recommend that you make your installation under a python virtual environment such as virtualenv or pipenv.
To install this package run (use -e for development mode)
pip install [-e] .
When running inside a virtual environment you will need to provide access to system libraries. You can achieve this by using --system-site-packages when setting up your environment or through vext.
If you opt to install vext, please install the PyGObject module with:
pip install vext vext.gi
You also need to ensure that the following packages are installed inside the virtual environment (as well as their system dependencies):
pip install pygobject gobject
