AhAh thanks John, pip, setuptools and ... pkg_resources come into site-package folder :-)

And ... "gi" comes with pygobject3 :-)

On the side of my app (well the app I try to port on macOS) is running with lots of gtk-warning but it is 
running.

By the way, how can I help with your new buid system from https://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/tree/pipenv?

Thanks again, Pascal.
