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.
I'm pretty sure the additional modules that section refers to are for
berkeleydb, sqlite, and tk. It is not needed for any of the modules in
the blfs python modules section.
