Installing python 3.4 as a user
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Building your own python 3
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
- Go to the `python download page`_
|
|
- Select the “Latest Python 3 Release”
|
|
- Download a tarball and extract it
|
|
- Run ``./configure && make`` (takes only a few minutes even on old CPUs)
|
|
- Edit the poezio launch.sh script to make it call your user-compiled python binary
|
|
|
|
Pyenv (x86/x86_64 only)
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Pyenv_ is a useful script that allows you to install several python versions
|
|
in your user directory, and lets you manage which one you want depending on
|
|
the directory you are in. It is therefore useful for people who are on
|
|
distributions not providing the latest stable version, such as Debian or
|
|
CentOS.
|
|
|
|
You can follow the step-by-step `installation tutorial`_ on github that will
|
|
help you install it to your home directory (on step 5, you should use 3.4.2
|
|
which is the latest python 3.4 release at the time of writing this page); or
|
|
you can use the `automated installer`_ and use ``pyenv install 3.4.2``
|
|
thereafter.
|
|
|
|
Then you only need to add a ``.python-version`` file containing ``3.4.2`` in
|
|
your poezio directory to make the python version in that directory default to
|
|
the python 3.4.2 installed with pyenv.

=====
|
|
|
|
pythonz_ allows the same kind of version management as pyenv, but builds
|
|
from source instead of fetching precompiled binaries, so it allows more
|
|
control over what is going on.
