ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mathics_scanner'

On Slackware64 15.0 up-to-date stable, mathics crashes.
I installed numpy, sympy, wheel (for pip2tgz,) pip2tgz, did 'pip2tgz Mathics3-4.0.0.tar.gz' to build package to see if I can get this working for a SlackBuild (for SlackBuilds.org.) Here's a short log. It maybe was a pip2tgz issue but I'm unsure will be able to create package w/only pip because must--as root--install to specific directory then package will be built from.

Also, active work on Mathics core is now done at https://github.com/mathics3/mathics-core This is mentioned in the "about" for this project.

Yeah, I shouldn't have used pip2tgz yet; mathics works fine on Slackware64 15 if I just did 'pip3 install Mathics3.'
