What are the prerequisite packages for a complete python3 compilation install?
You will always get issues like Pip not being able to access pypi because the openssl module was not installed. Other things need the gcc compiler and such.
Recently I got this warning:
Could not import the lzma module. Your installed Python is incomplete. Attempting to use lzma compression will result in a RuntimeError.It is very annoying
Install Prerequisites

./configure
make
sudo make installMore Issues
There may be a warning after running make:
The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:
_curses _curses_panel _dbm
_gdbm _sqlite3 _tkinter
_uuid readline
The following modules found by detect_modules() in setup.py, have been
built by the Makefile instead, as configured by the Setup files:
_abc atexit pwd
time This post mentions that some more are required (which I retrospectively added above):
sudo yum install yum-utils
sudo yum groupinstall development
# Libraries needed during compilation to enable all features of Python:
sudo yum install zlib-devel bzip2-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel sqlite-devel readline-devel tk-devel gdbm-devel db4-devel libpcap-devel xz-devel expat-develEven after that I still get:
