Python Prepare Python for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-shared \ --with-system-expat \ --with-system-ffi \ --with-ensurepip=yes --with-system-expat This switch enables linking against system version of Expat. --with-system-ffi This switch enables linking against system version of libffi. --with-ensurepip=yes This switch enables building pip and setuptools packaging programs. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make test Some tests requiring a network connection or additional packages are skipped. The test named test_unicodedata fails because network configuration is not completed yet. For more comprehensive results, the test can be rerun when Python 3 is reinstalled in BLFS. Install the package: make install chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython&python-minor;.so chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython3.so ln -sfv pip&python-minor; /usr/bin/pip3 chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython{&python-minor;,3}.so Fix permissions for libraries to be consistent with other libraries. If desired, install the preformatted documentation: install -v -dm755 /usr/share/doc/python-&python-version;/html tar --strip-components=1 \ --no-same-owner \ --no-same-permissions \ -C /usr/share/doc/python-&python-version;/html \ -xvf ../python-&python-version;-docs-html.tar.bz2 --no-same-owner and --no-same-permissions Ensure the installed files have the correct ownership and permissions. Without these options, using tar will install the package files with the upstream creator's values.

For this script to run, you must have installed Tk before Python so that the Tkinter Python module is built. idle3 pip3 The package installer for Python. You can use pip to install packages from Python Package Index and other indexes. pip3 pydoc3 is the Python documentation tool. pydoc3 python3 is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. python3
