cpythons

This page describes cpythons, a script that builds CPython versions, old to new. At the time of this writing, it builds CPython 0.9.1 through the second CPython 3.9.

Usage is like:

$ ./cpythons --help
cmd output started 2018 Sun Jan 28 10:33:52 AM PST
Usage: ./cpythons --which-pythons 'python-2.7 python-3.4'
       ./cpythons --which-pythons all
          --skip-gtk
          --skip-numerical
          --skip-cleanup do not remove build temporaries

As suggested above, it can build gtk (gobject introspection) and numpy.

It requires cobble

It is particularly useful with the pythons script I wrote, which will run a Python snippet on a variety of Python interpreters and summarize the results.
