I don't think your assessment is correct, as I have booted opensuse,
where I do not even have pipx installed and have not used it. I did
these commands:

1059  pip install musicpy
 1062  pip install idle

I got the layout error so:

 1065  pip install layout

cured the layout error but then I got a gui error

 1067  pip install gui

There is no such package.

.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/idle.py", line 26, in <module>
    gui.mainloop()
NameError: name 'gui' is not defined
