| # !/bin/bash | |
| # Step 1. Install pyenv | |
| git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv | |
| echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bashrc | |
| echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc | |
| echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/.bashrc | |
| source ~/.bashrc | |
| # Step 2. Install missing headers for all the Python modules to be built and make sure gcc is installed | |
| sudo zypper install readline-devel sqlite3-devel libbz2-devel zlib-devel libopenssl-devel libffi-devel gcc | |
| # Step 3. Install the desired Python version | |
| pyenv install 3.6.3 | |
| # Step 4. Install virtualenv | |
| sudo zypper install python3-virtualenv | |
| # Step 5. Create a virtual environment for the installed Python and activate it | |
| mkdir ~/pythons | |
| cd ~/pythons | |
| virtualenv -p ~/.pyenv/versions/3.6.3/bin/python3.6 python3.6.3 | |
| source ./python3.6.3/bin/activate |
Yes, gcc is required in order to be able to compile Python from sources. Added gcc to step 2 to make this requirement explicit
The latest Python 3.6 release is 3.6.13, so it's probably best to replace all reference of 3.6.3 with 3.6.13 to get all the latest fixes.
some errors to install python 3.6.15 solved as explained in : pyenv/pyenv#1889 (comment)
For Ubuntu line 13 becomes:
sudo apt install libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev gcc

Nicely worked on open suse 42.2, since i struggled lot to install python3.6 since open suse does not have 3.6 rpms to install quickly, Ofcourse gcc is must most of the applications to install. Also source compilazation and installation i tried: Python-3.6.11.tgz did not go well.
