How to run Python 3.7 on Ubuntu 16.04

This is based on Method 2 in https://websiteforstudents.com/installing-the-latest-python-3-7-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04/

First, you need to install Python 3.7 (you will currently have Python 3.5.2):

$ wget -e robots=off -r -np 'http://example.com/folder/'

• -e robots=off causes it to ignore robots.txt for that domain
• -r makes it recursive
• -np = no parents, so it doesn't follow links up to the parent folder

How to recover lost Python source code if it's still resident in-memory

I screwed up using git ("git checkout --" on the wrong file) and managed to delete the code I had just written... but it was still running in a process in a docker container. Here's how I got it back, using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrasite/ and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncompyle6

Attach a shell to the docker container

Install GDB (needed by pyrasite)

apt-get update && apt-get install gdb
