Thanks much.
To be clear: I didn't actually destroy anything,
I just did an incomplete job. Correct?
I'll soon find out whether importlib has any dependencies.
Also, what did I miss?
Until the traceback, I hadn't noticed evidence of a need for importlib.
I'd rather not repeat this scenario the next time I install from tarball.
The first time (several years ago), I installed pyserial from tarball,
no such dependency was required, so I hadn't looked very hard.
From reading about importlib and pip,
I get the impression that I should install Python3 outside Centos's package system.
Centos does system things with Python2.
Does pip do the right thing when there are two Python installs?
Does it handle dependencies?
