That's not the worst of it: I thought "why did he use 'perlcompat' just for 'die' and 'getopts'?" So I replaced those commands with the Python equivalents and removed the library. Only to discover that "x11utils" requires "perlcompat". Seriously? And "pip3" doesn't even know it's a dependency so you have to install it by hand.
