That sorted it! I renamed /home/rod/.local/lib/python3.5, and pgAdmin
was then able to start.

I looked into  ~/.config/pgadmin/pgadmin4.conf as you suggested, and
there is indeed a PythonPath line:

PythonPath="/home/rod/.local/lib/python3.5;/home/rod/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages"

Can I safely delete this line?

I think the Python 3.5 installation is cruft from historical
installations of pgAdmin4, before the deb packages became available...
I'll leave it there for the moment, and if nothing else breaks I'll
eventually delete it.

Thanks a million for your help!
