Python tools There are two package files whose name starts with python. The one to extract from is Python-&python-version;.tar.xz (notice the uppercase first letter). This package first builds the Python interpreter, then some standard Python modules. The main script for building modules is written in Python, and uses hard-coded paths to the host /usr/include and /usr/lib directories. To prevent them from being used, issue: sed -i '/def add_multiarch_paths/a \ return' setup.py Prepare Python for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/tools --without-ensurepip --without-ensurepip This switch disables the Python package installer, which is not needed at this stage. Compile the package: make Compilation is now complete. The test suite requires TK and and X Windows and cannot be run at this time. Install the package: make install
