python package hard-won

 if it has a setup.py that should take care of your dependencies, just as soon as you yourself take care of some BS, but anyway

Call pip3 so that it will run on the Python that is supported, because your system is still infested with Python 2 because of course it is

Related to Python 2: I just saw some major software project or other tentatively ask its userbase if any of them care about EBCDIC enough to pay someone to keep the code running on it

give the --user flag instead of sudo-ing it. According to the man page, this installs with "the user scheme," which the man page literally never mentions anywhere else, but you know installing a module from files you own for your own use should not involve superuser powers

Related to superuser powers: I just did run sudo pip3 and it complained that sudo doesn't have enough access!

"editable mode" from the -e flag is for development, it makes stuff import your files so your edits will have an effect, instead of having stuff import a copy of your files hidden away elsewhere
