Hello Luis, After long trial and error I have failed to find a way of enabling this feature. Getting the necessary environment variables into GNOME Builder is doable, albeit not without issues. In particular, naively setting GI_TYPELIB_PATH from build – which would normally be the sane thing to do – sets you up for a runtime error. However, even after you've somehow weasled the correct paths into all the environment variables, getting them propagated into the IDE workers is a nightmare, that I wish no one. I tried deleting the line, that unsets the environment, I tried explicitly setting it to false; nothing works.
If someone else wants to take this bug, go ahead, otherwise I suggest dropping Python support from our builds of GNOME Builder so as to not cause confusion in such a manner.
