Drat.

For this you need to modify your local copy of gramps.modules to include to your local copy of 
gtk-osx.modules instead of the one at git.gnome.org. If you don’t have your own checkout of the latter, you 
can point it at /Users/waider/Sources/jhbuild/modulesets/gtk-osx.modules. Then you can edit 
gtk-osx-python.modules in that directory to have the autogen-template that you want.
