Basically did a big slash-and-burn of all installed py* packages
(python2 and python3, both distro and SBo) and reinstalled them from
scratch. Only reinstalled the things I currently need and their
dependencies, so that may have reduced the likelihood of conflicts.
Did get a couple of errors along the way but they disappeared on
re-attempt. I don't feel the need to know why.
Everything seems to work. I never could pin it down on a particular
package conflict but that's OK.
Thanks to everyone who reached out to help (on and offline) - you know
who you are.
And BTW the idea of building in a clean chroot did prove to be useful.
And not difficult.
Going forward, no more running pip as root. Or at all if I can help it,
unless in a virtualenv.
thanks again!

Thank you Erich. Not sure what to do with it, though. There was never
any suspicion that there was an actual circular dependency coming from
the SBo .info files. I only see it when I try to build python-zipp and
python-importlib_metadata packages manually. (See error messages below).
FWIW, I have recently rebuilt every one of those dependencies in
versions you list.
Is there any diagnostic value in running slackrepo on my system to
build python-zipp? Not been a slackrepo user, I'd need to figure out
how to do the clean chroot bit, so any tips appreciated!
thanks

After removing both packages, and attempting to re-install (with

The python-zipp build bombs with:

while python-importlib_metadata seems to need python-zipp, bombing
with:
ERROR Missing dependencies:
setuptools_scm[toml]>=3.4.1
importlib-metadata>=4.6 -> zipp>=3.20
I don't understand why it's complaining about setuptools_scm ... I
seem to have it:
/var/log/packages/python3-setuptools-scm-opt-8.3.1-noarch-1_SBo
/var/log/packages/python-setuptools_scm-6.3.2-x86_64-1
/var/log/packages/python3-setuptools_scm_git_archive-1.4.1-x86_64-1_SBo
... though not sure which (if any) of these packages is the one it
wants.
So I'm stuck again. Anyone have a next step to suggest?
At least I got python3-setuptools-opt installed.
thanks!
