Updated all the packages via MageiaUpdate after trying smem.
$ urpmq --requires smem
python3
python3dist(matplotlib)

$ smem -u --pie=user lcl
That produced a piechart showing that lcl was using 6.29% of memory.

Simple scripts work:
$ python3 fibonacci.py
Fibonacci series for first 13 terms
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233
The tenth term is 34
[0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]
$ python3 sieve.py
q = 2
q = 3
q = 5
[...]
q = 281
q = 283
q = 293
$ python3 button.py
<Created a simple gui with two buttons which produced simple results>

Interactive python3 works.

This is probably all we need to do for this.
