Thank you for the information, I will have to look around at what gets 
bindings and what doesn't.  Pygobject and pgi are two more libraries I 
had to manually add due to Gramps not seeing the Gnome Platform 
libraries, BTW.  Anyways, I didn't know about using pyenchant, which as 
of version 3.2.1 that I downloaded, includes enchant.  That sounds like 
a better solution than what I was doing.  So I installed pyenchant into 
the flatpak through the manifest, and took out enchant1.  Once 
installed, the Gramps flatpak still can not see enchant according to the 
Prerequisites Checker add-on.  However spell check does work.

Anyways, in my github branch as a test I tried adding the following 
lines to the finish args to make sure that the flatpak could see the 
Platform:

- --filesystem=host

- --filesystem=xdg-run/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

And I add --exec-prefix=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to the python3 build 
command to make sure that Gramps knows where to look for the platform.  
The flatpak still can't find the Platform once installed.  I'm wondering 
if the links to the platform library from the flatpak get broken after 
the flatpak exits?
