## The Grist source can be extended. This is a stub that can be overridden

##   docker buildx build -t ... --build-context=ext=<path> .
## The code in <path> will then be built along with the rest of Grist.

# If you have documents with python2.7 formulas, try switching

# And we'll be forced to turn off python2 support eventually,
# the workarounds needed to keep it are getting silly.
# It doesn't exist in recent Debian, so we need to reach back
# to buster.
# Many Python2 imports require the ffi foreign-function interface
# library binary, of course present on modern debian but with
# a different ABI (currently version 8, versus version 6 for this
# version of Python2). We move it from an achitecture-specific location
# to a standard location so we can pick it up and copy it across later.
# This will no longer be necessary when support for Python2 is dropped.
# The Grist data engine code will not work without it.
