Yea, I agree. Building from source isn't that bad.
Well, yes and no. A couple of minutes to download, a couple of
minutes to read README,
./configure; make; make test
Total elapsed time so far about 15 minutes. Now comes the hard part
-- floating-point exceptions on the Alpha are not handled by whatever
Python does to test FP, and the sequence of tests bombs out about
half-way through with Floating point exception.
Quick google/groups search does not turn up a magic fix. Now I have
to think about two things: skipping the FP tests so everything else
can be tested, and deciding what to do about FP exceptions.
Besides that, I have to remember why I wanted a more recent Python in
the first place. But it's been educational.
