python3-hatchling (Hatch build backend) This is the extensible, standards compliant build backend used by Hatch. Add the following before the python3 build commands in your Slackbuild as hatchling now requires python3-packaging-opt: PYVER=$(python3 -c 'import sys; print("%d.%d" % sys.version_info[:2])') export PYTHONPATH=/opt/python$PYVER/site-packages NOTE: As of version 1.28.0 hatchling has dropped support for python3.9. However, it still seems to work fine so I will continue updating it for the time being.
