Although Python 3 is now installed in LFS, it appears necessary to reinstall Python 3 in BLFS to install Python modules. From the Python 3 documentation:
"Python 3 was installed in LFS. The only reason to install it here is if optional modules are needed."
I understand the note, but a user following dependency links doesn't see it. For instance, Mako is required for Mesa, but the Mako link references the Mako page, which makes no mention of reinstalling Python 3. As Python 3 was installed in LFS, a user would have no reason to suspect Python 3 must be reinstalled.
Would it make sense to add a note to Python modules using python3 indicating Python 3 must be reinstalled?
Is it practical to amend the Python 3 LFS procedures to eliminate reinstalling Python 3 in BLFS? That would eliminate the need for notes in BLFS and the Python 3 documentation.
