Hmm. The GTK SourceView control has been a bit of a pain in previous porting jobs. You may end up needing to build something from source.

If you're talking about the way that "python3 -m pip install ..." is preferred over "pip3 install ...", then that's due to the possibility of having multiple Pythons installed; but if you're using a virtual environment, or you're confident you have full control over your setup, you can just use the shorthand. That's still using pip, though. Just not using /usr/local/bin/pip (or equiv) to invoke it. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
