This is exactly what apt build-dep is. It's part of the package manager system, so it's tied to your own version of Debian/Ubuntu/etc, and it's usually pretty reliable. You ask for the build deps of a previous Python 3, and they'll generally be what you need for the latest. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
