    I ended up installing the files from 'GNAT/2021/share/gnatstudio' to 
     '/usr/share/gnatstudio' which solved most of the Python2/3 
problems. There is still an issue with auto-indent, when using the TAB 
key, which I've not been able to fix.

    In case it is of use to anyone, here is a link to the Archlinux 
gnat-gps package (which builds ok) ...
