[Inkscape-devel] Pages extension and page numbers.

I downloaded the "pages" package to go with 48.2. Unfortunately when you get to "Master Page" and try to insert an automatic page number you get very deep into python-world. It requires lxml which in turn requires something else etc. etc. I long ago gave up chasing such asymptotic strings of requirements AKA library hell.

Would it be possible to package this extension with all the required pieces included? Or reprogram it so that the lxml etc. were not required? I recognize that the author is a python enthusiast. But I am not. And there must be a simpler way to insert consecutive page numbers on a master page. I will do it by hand if necessary.

I use Slackware 13.37
