Description
I have the following in my `deps/build.jl` file:
```julia
using PyCall
PyCall.Conda.add("wfdb")
```
And inside module:
```julia
module MyPackage
const WFDB = PyNULL()
function __init__()
copy!(WFDB, pyimport("wfdb"))
end
end # module
```
But this doesn't work on Linux, because there are different paths for `PyCall.libpython` and `PyCall.Conda.PYTHONDIR`.
As explained in the PyCall documentation, I should set `ENV["PYTHON"]=""`, run `Pkg.build("PyCall")`, and re-launch Julia.
So, in GH Actions I've added a custom `run` command for MyPackage:
```yaml
- name: "Set up Julia"
uses: julia-actions/setup-julia@v1
with:
version: ${{ matrix.julia-version }}
arch: ${{ matrix.julia-arch }}
- uses: julia-actions/julia-buildpkg@v1
- run: julia --project=@. -e 'import Pkg; ENV["PYTHON"]=""; Pkg.add("PyCall"); Pkg.build("PyCall")'
- uses: julia-actions/julia-runtest@v1
```
But it breaks again in GH Actions for other packages, if they have MyPackage as a dependency.
So, should I really repeat this custom `run` command to all other packages that rely on MyPackage?
Or maybe I can somehow add scripts in my package, that will be run before build?
