I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape.
What is the best way to go about this?
Why don’t you check for both and use the one that’s available, otherwise print an error. Additionally you could read an env INKSCAPE_BIN and also include that in your checks.
So one could for example do
INKSCAPE_BIN='distrobox enter arch -- inkscape' python main.pyIt is not my package, but I could of course go ahead and change the source code directly to handle this. But I’d prefer a solution that would persist through updates.
