thanks for digging into this. _gnucap.so looks like (it should be) the
same as .libs/python.so, except i don't fully understand setup.py.

you can ignore this, for now. if something works, we can try to make it
work with the already installed ones (from gnucap-default-plugins.so).

this is interesting. if the *.py files are not supposed to be ran from
python, maybe it will be useful to rename them. (.pygc? .gcpy?).

there seem to be two use cases, one is running gnucap from python, the
other is running python from gnucap. both make sense to me. maybe only
one way ever worked...

is this related to the deprecation warnings durring compilation?
