Yeah, I've been trying to get to the point where pip can be used as much as
possible.  I think that for Linux, the only real complication (after "basic
Python3.7 or later") is wxPython.  If there is a Debian package for that
(and probably there are packages for the other "core scientific packages"
of numpy, scipy, matplotlib, h5py), then I think everything else should be
installable with "pip" or a recent Debian package.

At least that is the intention.  It would be good to test that out in
practice too.  I have not tried a "root install with python from the OS
distribution" on RH/Centos machines either, but it would be good to try
that on both RH/Centos and Debian.  I think we might even be able to
automate some of that testing with Github actions (which defaults to
ubuntu).
