Interesting.  I only get
-------------
Python path:  "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages"
Python Home:  ""
Webapp path:  "/usr/share/pgadmin4/web/pgAdmin4.py"
------------
And then a popup that says  "The application server could not be  
contacted."

This is with eselect postgresql set to either 9.6 or 10.  Also - all  
above running as myself, although I get the same results with root or  
postgres.  It looks like although I have 10 installed, I never  
initialized it, although 9.6 should work OK.

I'm now emerging the test version of pgAdmin4 to see if it makes any  
difference.
