Building Python 3.11.0

The following scripts has been tested in clean environment, the official image for each distro in Docker Hub to be exact.

The dependencies doesn't change much, so Python 3.10 may have the exact same process. (Obviously the link and the filename in the script must be changed)

Table of Content

• Debian 10, Debian 11, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04
• CentOS 7
• AlmaLinux 8
• Rocky Linux 9
• openSUSE 15.3
• Alpine Linux 3.16.2

Debian 10, Debian 11, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04

• Note: _dbm module is not available.
• Note: For Ubuntu 18.04 with both packages tk-dev (8.6.0+9) and tk8.6-dev (8.6.8-4) installed, _tkinter module is refused to compile for unknown reason. (TBH, I didn't dig into this problem)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y libncurses-dev libbz2-dev libgdbm-dev liblzma-dev libssl-dev tk-dev uuid-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev libffi-dev gcc make automake wget
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.0/Python-3.11.0.tgz
tar -xvf Python-3.11.0.tgz
cd Python-3.11.0
./configure --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make altinstall

CentOS 7

The script should work with RHEL7 based systems.

• Note: _tkinter module is not available because Python 3.11 requires tk 8.6, while package tk-devel is using tk 8.5.
