No module named 'syspath_override'

[li-dl]

Testing on Ubuntu 20.04, pip install https://github.com/evernote/zing/archive/v0.9.3.zip succeeds, but when I run zing --version it gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/test/test/.venv/bin/zing", line 5, in <module>
    from pootle.runner import main
  File "/home/test/test/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pootle/runner.py", line 18, in <module>
    import syspath_override  # noqa
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'syspath_override'

The same problem was reproduced on a Debian Buster machine.

The Pootle issue is in the Pootle FAQ, with the solution:

You are running Pootle using Python 3, change your virtual environment to Python 2 and try again.

But the Zing documentation says that Zing requires Python 3.
