I did separate searches for "python3-pcbasic" and "pcbasic" by entering
them in the search box at
https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_packages to avoid 
possible sources.list related anomalies.

I just re-ran the search specifying "any" for suite.
"python3-pcbasic" is available in testing and unstable.

BTW it has a web site at http://robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/ .
