PAR file frontend Pypar2 will not install

enter image description hereJust my terminal output

OK, so I am trying to get a front-end for PAR and PAR2 files, being an old Windhoos dog, working and miserably failed. Must I edit the sources file, do I need to get the pypar2 package and store it somewhere? Thanks for caring! Update: did try to install the .deb, the result is the darker screenshot....

PyPar2 is Python2 based, so this is why it is missed in modern Ubuntu versions.

It is still installable on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 21.04 and 21.10 by manual download of dependencies using commands below:

cd ~/Downloads

Again it works great, obviously the recommendation I read, dates back some time, hence the fact that I missed the Python2 part.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
