+python3-meson-opt (meson installed to /opt)
+
+Meson is a cross-platform build system designed to be both as fast and
+as user friendly as possible. It supports many languages and
+compilers, including GCC, Clang, PGI, Intel, and Visual Studio. Its
+build definitions are written in a simple non-Turing complete DSL.
+
+NOTE:
+ Install bin and docs to /opt/meson
+ Installs module to /opt/python$PYVER/site-packages
+
+Add the following before the python3 build commands in your
+Slackbuild to use this version over the stock one in 15.0. My testing
+has shown the newer meson bin does not need to be added to PATH, but
+YMMV:
+
+PYVER=$(python3 -c 'import sys; print("%d.%d" % sys.version_info[:2])')
+export PYTHONPATH=/opt/python$PYVER/site-packages
