Details on this package are located in Section 6.51.2, “Contents of Python 3.”
The Python 3 package contains the Python development environment. It is useful for object-oriented programming, writing scripts, prototyping large programs or developing entire applications.
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
The meaning of the configure option:
--without-ensurepip
This switch disables the Python 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
