Hello Rich,

Pygments from SBo is installed here on Slackware64 -current, all of the files 
end up in /usr/lib64/python{2.7,3.9}, I don't even have any /usr/lib/python* 
directories.

To verifiy, I installed python3 and Pygments in a Slackware64 14.2 docker 
container, same result (except of course python being 3.7 instead of 3.9).

Have you installed something with pip3 perhaps? Or by hand?

Sometimes those usually end up under /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64, AFAIK, 
though I couldn't reproduce it in a clean docker container with pip3.

HTH,
