Working on mathics.SlackBuild, I'm thinking does maybe maybe
python-template.SlackBuild template need update? Seems /any/all/
(almost 10+) Python programs I try anymore use pip, not setuptools
(haven't seen it for years) so shouldn't both be in template(s)? But,
maybe pip isn't going to work right without pip2tgz...

I mean Slackware 14.2 is barely older than Mathics 1, from 2 October
2016, w/newer commits (I didn't use) since that October 4th, until late
2020's 1.1. Mathics 4 (though renamed still Mathics3) was mid-2021, so
if anyone might prefer basic package, that would've been what to try. I
might make basic and/or full installation Mathics build scripts. I want
full but depends what others may want.
Incidentally 'pip3tgz Mathics3-4.0.0.tar.gz' builds (but crashes,
so I'll be talking to upstream) but I avoid unusual build methods, like
seems poor style when discord.SlackBuild gets .deb instead of .tar.gz
(though pip2tgz may be better than plain pip because can/does specify
.tar.gz.) It may (or not--comments/suggestions/policies?) be best see
if pip can be made to install to /tmp/SBo/package-mathics then do normal
makepkg. W/pip2tgz would I put .tar.gz in mathics.info then use pip2tgz
on it?
