Ugh indeed.  So I made those modifications but doesn’t this script now remove the executable dill while creating undill and undill-py310 as a hard linked file? It seems to only check for the un-versioned executable %p/bin/dill-py.
There is no dill or dill-py310 installed.

May not be able to do more testing for awhile.  Have a hurricane coming in and will lose power soon.
