Installable Python kits, and information about using Python, are available at Build Instructions
On Unix, Linux, BSD, macOS, and Cygwin:
./configure make make test sudo make install
This will install Python as python3.
You can pass many options to the configure script; run ./configure --help
to find out more. On macOS and Cygwin, the executable is called python.exe;
elsewhere it's just python.
On macOS, if you have configured Python with --enable-framework, you
should use make frameworkinstall to do the installation. Note that this
installs the Python executable in a place that is not normally on your PATH,
you may want to set up a symlink in /usr/local/bin.
On Windows, see Profile Guided Optimization
PGO takes advantage of recent versions of the GCC or Clang compilers. If ran,
make profile-opt will do several steps.
First, the entire Python directory is cleaned of temporary files that may have resulted in a previous compilation.
Then, an instrumented version of the interpreter is built, using suitable compiler flags for each flavour. Note that this is just an intermediary step and the binary resulted after this step is not good for real life workloads, as it has profiling instructions embedded inside.
After this instrumented version of the interpreter is built, the Makefile will automatically run a training workload. This is necessary in order to profile the interpreter execution. Note also that any output, both stdout and stderr, that may appear at this step is suppressed.
Finally, the last step is to rebuild the interpreter, using the information collected in the previous one. The end result will be a Python binary that is optimized and suitable for distribution or production installation.
Enabled via configure's --with-lto flag. LTO takes advantage of the
ability of recent compiler toolchains to optimize across the otherwise
arbitrary .o file boundary when building final executables or shared
libraries for additional performance gains.
We have a comprehensive overview of the changes in the Misc/NEWS, but a full
accounting of changes can only be gleaned from the
Significant backward incompatible changes were made for the release of Python
3.0, which may cause programs written for Python 2 to fail when run with Python
3. For more information about porting your code from Python 2 to Python 3, see
the Testing
To test the interpreter, type By default, tests are prevented from overusing resources like disk space and
memory. To enable these tests, run If any tests fail, you can re-run the failing test(s) in verbose mode: If the failure persists and appears to be a problem with Python rather than
your environment, you can Installing multiple versions
On Unix and Mac systems if you intend to install multiple versions of Python
using the same installation prefix ( For example, if you want to install Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6 with 3.6 being the
primary version, you would execute Bug reports are welcome! You can use the on
GitHub. You can also follow development discussion on the Proposals for enhancement

script) you must take care that your primary python executable is not
overwritten by the installation of a different version. All files and
directories installed using make altinstall contain the major and minor
version and can thus live side-by-side. make install also creates
${prefix}/bin/python3 which refers to ${prefix}/bin/pythonX.Y. If you
intend to install multiple versions using the same prefix you must decide which
version (if any) is your "primary" version. Install that version using make
install. Install all other versions using make altinstall.make install in your 3.6 build directory
and make altinstall in the others.
