I'm trying to create a flatpak for our tool: https://github.com/IENT/RDPlot My flatpak config and other files are here: https://github.com/IENT/flathub/tree/de.ient.RDPlot
When I try to call start the tool I get
flatpak-builder --run buildDir de.ient.RDPlot.yaml rdplot --filesystem=host
Traceback (most recent call last):

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'sip' distribution was not found and is required by rdplot
I tried to set PYTHONPATH both locally before calling the command and in the flatpak config, but this did not work. I verified that the package was installed correctly:
cd /var/lib/flatpak/app/de.ient.RDPlot/current/active/files/lib/python3.5/site-packages
ipython
In [1]: import sip
In [2]: sip.__file__
Out[2]: '/var/lib/flatpak/app/de.ient.RDPlot/x86_64/master/028d157308e77fd7ea66c39d93bf661dc3ddebc570aae0bcad6f07ab92ae4257/files/lib/python3.5/site-packages/sip.so'
Any advice on how to proceed would be great! I noticed that other flatpaks, for example (https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.krita) patch sip, but they use a different sip/pyqt version and I don't really think its the same problem. I think it simply is not found.
