Ok wow, this morning I did a complete removal of python3, and that seems to have messed up my system. I finally got back up and running, and am experiencing the same issues with smcol_sav_editor. I tried what you suggest above, and it returned:

Do I maybe need to install python3-socksipychain or python3-certifi?
