# py-pkg

Compilation and packaging tools for Python.

**Status:** The builds and package appear to work but little testing has been

performed so far.

## Overview

Sometimes you need more that one version of python installed in production settings.

Maybe you're migrating from one version to another, or perhaps you have legacy

code that you want to run using a specific version.

This project provides Linux OS packages (initiallu for Ubuntu and CentOS/RedHat)

that install to `/opt/python/` so that multiple versions can

be installed side-by-side.

The installation packages are called 'python\' and the

package version number is actually the build number.

Builds are run using a parameterised build where the version number(s) of

the Python version(s) to be built are specified at build time. The build

process takes care of downloading the Python source, compiling it and

packaging it for release.

## Build server

If you want to build your own Python packages and have access to an Ubuntu

20.04 server, you can bootstrap a build environment with the following

command...

```bash

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sellorm/py-pkg/main/server-config.sh)

```

This script installs dependency packages, config files and clones this repo

in order to provide an ready-to-use build environment, tailored to building

python packages.
