The 'dataclasses' distribution was not found and is required by screeninfo

Hello,

I try to run superpaper on openSUSE Tumbleweed, however, from the error it says that I need dataclasses python module to run superpaper which required by screeninfo.

But what I read on dataclasses, it should have itself included in python 3.7. https://github.com/ericvsmith/dataclasses

The logs show that python 3.8 is use. So why do I still need dataclasses module to get it to work? Thanks.

Dataclasses is a requirement of the screeninfo library that I use. I don't know why it isn't available under your 3.8 python environment, or why it wasn't installed by pip as a dependency.

Alright, will look into it.
