Well, __init__.py does exist in git repo, but not in tarball and final install.

If you set PYTHON=python3 when compiling it will be installed in the python3
prefix, then if you set it to python2 it will be installed in the python3
prefix.

Out of curiosity: why do we default to python2 instead of python3?

If you set PYTHON=python3 when compiling it will be installed in the python3
prefix, then if you set it to python2 it will be installed in the python3
prefix.

Sorry, I wrote a misleading bug title, and gave a unclearly description.
It can be installed but will not work correctly when installed into a different
prefix than pygobject3.

For example, what I have:
gst-python at /x/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi
pygobject3 at /y/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi
The GI overrides installed into different directories.

Actually, I run into this bug when package pitivi for nixpkgs[1].
For nix[2] package manager, each packages must installed in its own unique
subdirectory.

We should modify some autotools stuff to make gi/overrides/__init__.py install.

It is how pygobject people told me it was supposed to work, overrides should
all land in the same directory.

I am not against installing __init__.py in case we are installing in another
directory as it should work (given that we are *guaranteed* that
/y/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi will be scanned by python before
/x/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi (setting PYTHONPATH in the right order for
example)).But that should be done *only* if we are not installing in the same
directory as PyGobject as we clearly do not want to override the __init__.py
installed by pygobject.

Actually we should look for a proper solution, reopening the bug.
