the python location has moved, not sure when. the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\python still exists, but is empty, should probably be deleted.
for a 32 bit build, the current Python location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\lib\python2.7\site-packages
have you tried installing into this directory, or the 64 bit equivalent?
Yes, I installed it to lib\python2.7\site-packages.
Maybe the problem is that the binaries are not compatible? The current msys2 python and python-gobject are built with GCC 7, but the Inkscape bundled Python distro is build with GCC 6.
My extension installer does the following:
1) Copy the .py/inx files to \Inkscape\share\extensions
2) Copy the required packages from msys64\lib\python2.7\site-packages to lib\python2.7\site-packages
3) Copy the missing additional DLLs from msys64\bin to Inkscape\
