The mathics.SlackBuild depends on outdated Python: numpy (possibly not
too outdated), sympy (many years outdated) depends on mpmath (I used to
maintain... current maintainer keeps very up-to-date)... but what I mean
now is numpy3, python3-sympy (& python3-mpmath)... seems these python3
when used for mathics (core not omnibus yet) result in it won't even run
anymore (builds but is common python stuff deceptively 'successfully'
builds except requires dependency different than accepted to 'build'
(other times versions other than 'required' work).
Is python3-sympy.SlackBuild still even maintained? Now that
depends on something I used to maintain, I hope python3-sympy.SlackBuild
will either be updated in reasonable time or someone (maybe me,
maybe/hopefully not) can take over... SymPy is a significant library
even mentioned on wikipedia.org/wiki/Python.
Another option is if anyone likes Python (I don't) and wants to
maintain mathics.SlackBuild it's quite likely I will give them it (as
long as hopefully you're better at Python than me, which would be very
easy).
I regret doing Python SlackBuilds for various reasons including
as soon as SlackBuilds.org (SBo) administrators updated the templates it
seems they were already years outdated: I no longer see any Python
projects actually using the old setuptools rather than the newer pip,
but there's no pip template (which would be needed for mathics omnibus).
