Install /etc/security/user_map.conf as /etc/security/user_map.conf.new to
protect it from being overwritten by future upgrades.
Thanks to Markus Wiesner. - d/python3-3.9.9-i586-2.txz
Do not patch posix_user platlib to use $HOME/.local/lib64 on 64-bit - use
$HOME/.local/lib for all platforms. This avoids a warning from pip about the
install location not matching between distutils and sysconfig. Note that this
might require already installed modules to be moved from $HOME/.local/lib64
to $HOME/.local/lib (or they could be removed and then reinstalled).
At first this seemed to be a non-optimal solution for this issue, but other
distributions are taking this same approach and it appears that the
posix_user platlib setting has always been ignored until recently.
If this causes any unexpected issues, let me know.
Thanks to redneonglow and alijkl.

Upgraded
- d/python3-3.9.9-i586-1.txz
This is a bugfix release, fixing four bugs in Python 3.9.8 (including an
argparse regression in Python 3.9.8 which caused complex command-line tools
to fail recognizing sub-commands properly). It also makes a couple of
corrections to the documentation.

Added
- l/python-setuptools_scm-6.3.2-i586-1.txz
This is needed when building some Python modules to correctly parse their
metadata, as recently discovered with importlib_metadata and zipp. While
we'll stick to the version of Markdown that we've got, it seems like a good
idea to get this in before the release to help prevent people from running
into similar “version 0.0.0” issues with other Python modules.
Thanks to USUARIONUEVO. - l/python-tomli-1.2.2-i586-1.txz
This is needed by setuptools_scm. Also, the SlackBuild contains a nice
example of using a setup.py shim to setuptools for a Python module that
only contains pyproject.toml and not setup.py.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
