I completely understand the reason for using packages, but Debian is a volunteer project which does not exist solely to solve your problems so you can either do something you already know how to do (build Python 3.6 from source) and move on, or learn to make the packages you want (including fixing any backporting issues you find when doing so). Asking others to tell you how to do that is not the sort of self-directed research expected of participants in a volunteer project, it's at best begging and at worst disrespectful of those who have invested the time to learn the things you're not willing. https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/ --=20 Jeremy Stanley --azn3gurlmef5cz4y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAABCgB9FiEEl65Jb8At7J/DU7LnSPmWEUNJWCkFAlrfcDNfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDk3 QUU0OTZGQzAyREVDOUZDMzUzQjJFNzQ4Rjk5NjExNDM0OTU4MjkACgkQSPmWEUNJ WCmsVBAAjmcYjPwntiOnoPDiB2B5RBwpfqiSsnkT/bjMOYxKUa6yEgpv9xv/nROS NN/ilINjjV0f9Ut+uXe3ccwWCgaasUNAfpgRf5ocbfNMq4GqH0YqTkGwqdHDGtkl APCtzfgYy3sr7QYWkVgAI1RzQOFT/L6Qmcac/0KBElf9NNZtBL07DeG4NZYM15mz fRZteOQ7VTh8toPiHISkBOynHIm02thE9tg9HqutDZ+YYQsMpWSSWN5nflnUjOeO 6sDj63AyErnm/I3thFKKWdFu9d7moERv3/V4dmZxx1D/x1pfQiIrYDiLt/L94eH7 M7FPpVAds8O3VHKLO75fSOHfkOGvUptUqtznhCH/JwrynncqwlfuJfmGMRwyN5uC SrSY+x6+A664xCVqVCpzlk6eLpORfcNaL3NwbyXCPoKjVbPtknNgCpEcxENHhM8h 9ss3WP0v+XlYUxaqVUQCbVQnQqvwecUEP+bDjBZ9k/37WUl6fwfE2tuye5q5LJ2v i3hXzd5ETEqIA5zSjjdUd51ElhflRTpaFmDAdQQRSz2V/ETpy5MgeDMKQGOYTW1e krWI1P8bj2haVQ/hj8oRcZMd6K1v3d6RSbEqbdKuPhEuyqAvMh6AnQy+t6eQMXmg dLMgYfF8jqfGJi6InSWR7obeNMZzBB2bcJ9H7pAFLWGZOM9Iw4g= =GNEb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --azn3gurlmef5cz4y--
