+Subject: [PATCH] Extend the python path; rather than replacing it
+
+Some distros (i.e. NixOS) require the special PYTHONPATH, so that
+the web extension has access to the python packages it wants (i.e. gi).
+
+Previously, the PYTHONPATH was replaced with the web extension path;
+meaning it would crash on NixOS.  This instead prepends the web
+extension path to the PYTHONPATH.
