Installing pandoc-sf-sc.py

["R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar" <chyavana-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

I have downloaded pandoc-sf-sc.py and am trying to install it for use as 
a filter, recognized by my system, which is Manjaro Linux, dervived from 
Arch.

I am invoking the filter through this standard invocation option:

`--filter pandoc-sf-sc`

in the command line.

I get this error message:
---
pandoc: Error running filter pandoc-sf-sc:
Could not find executable 'pandoc-sf-sc'.
---

I have tried putting it in $HOME/.pandoc to no avail.

Also,

pip install pandoc-sf-sc

gives errors.

My guess is that the script has not been converted to an executable.

What exactly do I need to do to get the filter to function?

Thanks.

Chandra
