Here are the improvements in #995 that are currently functional.

Looked at and as far a the code looks, I just see good stuff and improvements.

No tests as yet. I suppose that can come later.

Will wait for CI to finish (or maybe it has by now).

For this PR and the one for sessions it would be good to update CHANGES.rst.

You are probably in a better position to update this than I am, but if you don't have time to do I'll do this as part of the release process.

And thanks for moving the ball forward in being able to import external WL project code.

With respect to the other PR on sessions, https://github.com/mathics/Mathics/wiki/Calling-Mathics-library-from-within-Python-code should be updated, right?

[mmatera]

I added the changes to CHANGE.rst. I guess that MathicsSession is something that we can include, even if the implementation is very primitive.
Later I can modify the wiki.

@mmatera thanks. It is all merged now.

@GarkGarcia I am starting the release process. Please no changes to master until this is done.

In this period I will be committing to master which is normally not advised and maybe in the future we can change this.

Here it will simplify things a little. As is happening right now there are some merges (of comment-like code) that are occuring before the CI process finishes. And there may be more of this. However before the final tagging I'll wait for the 30-minute or so CI process to finish.
