Hello, 1st of all, I want to thank all the developers and supporters for that great stuff called Qubes OS. My first question here after some hard time of setting up version 4.0, updating it step by step and studying is the following:

I have a debian-9 template running and for some application to get installed on it I need Python with Version >= 3.6 as a prerequisite.

Since the preinstalled versions in debian-9 are 2.7 and 3.5 I attempted to install version 3.6.4 from source as described at https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-python-3-6-4-on-debian-9/ in order not to run into problems with incompatibilities when switching to another repo.

Installing the build tools with "sudo apt-get install -y ..." worked fine but the next step, downloading the source file, with

"wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.4/Python-3.6.4.tgz";

brings "... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘www.python.org’ "

As I am neither an expert nor an experienced from-source-installer I need some help and hope to get it here. Thanks very much in advance and all the best for 2019.


Installing from Debian testing is much easier and it has Python 3.7. Just set the default release as in the following link, then add a line for "testing" in your /etc/apt/sources.list (and then 'apt update'):
