New Revision: 22274
Log:
python3: Fix the installation instructions by bumping the major version of
Python3 to 3.8
python3: Add required dependency on lsb-tools (which doesn't work, but I've
poked DJ since he's technically upstream)
python3: Update the command explanation for --enable-optimization to use the
correct location now that it's python3.8
python3: Add commented short description for 2to3 for when python2 is
eventually phased out
python3: Add new program 'easy_install' and add description.
