I said before not in subject line: I give up Mathics SlackBuild: has 
several (undocumented) Python dependencies they don't want to document 
(saying like use pip on Ubuntu or something there to manually get 
dependency list) let alone instruct to install old way still 
theoretically works.  After reading/discussion seems doable with fair 
bit of work... maybe a few hours/days after learning more.  Thing is, 
I've never really been a Python fan, so sounds easier to install gratis 
Mathematica on rpd or ARM to use with remote X Window System or some 
other remote access (with one of several/few SlackBuilds here for 
that).  If anyone actually uses Mathics and wants it updated but no 
one's interested, I can try more later, but more interested either 
changing Moria SlackBuild to colour Moria or adding unless anyone gets 
to it first, and testing LuckyCyborgs KDE6 to update KuickShow.
