Bug Description
The gnome-3-38 extension sets PYTHONPATH to its own python interpreter, seemingly overriding python plugin functionality and causing build errors. This seems to have a larger negative impact on python-based GTK 3 snaps (PyGObject), which requires both the python plugin and the gnone-3-38 extension (on core20). This apparent incompatibility between gnome-3-38 and the python plugin on core20 has driven developers to either use a custom python installation by overriding PYTHONPATH, or downgrade to core18 + gnome-3-34.
