# lsof |grep pynsource |grep "No such file" reveals (lots of) missing files in the snap pynsource package.

a wild guess: the missing text in pynsource-GUI might be due to the missing locale files under:
/snap/pynsource/8/gnome-platform/usr/lib/locale/

If it were not snap's r/o FS I would <------ {hail to the sacred security ! }
# cd /snap/pynsource/8/gnome-platform
# mkdir usr; mkdir usr/lib;
# cd usr/lib
# ln -s /usr/lib/locale locale <------ {my fedora 32)
and give it a try

what do you think?

managed to get it running from source.
had to comment the update check in: pynsource-gui.py ln: 368/369

hope I can uninstall the snap thing

Not sure why those files are missing - snap runs fine on Ubuntu systems. I’ve never run or tested on fedora, sorry.
