Of co= urse, stock python is 2.7, I'd rather use python3. There isn't a python3 = package available for angstrom. So I downloaded the source and compiled. = It seemed to work pretty well.

For example, I don't really need tk stuff (in fac= t, it just kept telling me it wasn't there).

Not currently = subscribed there=E2=80=A6 but would if that would generate more informed = responses. pydev is for concrete discussion of developing future CPython releases. Questions about using current releases belong here. If you cannot get an = answer after a week, because no one knows or can get the answer, then=20 there might be a case for improving something. --=20 Terry Jan Reedy
