Does not work with Raspberry Pi Touchscreen

Hello!

I'm having trouble getting Taxi to work with the Raspberry Pi Touchscreen (the official TFT one). It works fine with the mouse, but tapping doesn't do anything. Here is the startup log:

It seems to detect it but doesn't do anything on touch events.

Install

Trying to get this installed on my raspberry pi 4 but running into the following error after running this step in your instructions. Any ideas?

Command: pip install git+https://github.com/plottertools/taxi#egg=tax

Error message:
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see pypa/pip#5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

Create ~/.taxi_svgs at startup

Small issue, but Taxi seems to assume that a folder ~/.taxi_svgs exists at startup. It crashes if it doesn't. It should probably create it if it doesn't exist.
