At this time not even amd64 builds of the Elecraft tools have been made
available so I run them in a i386 VirtualBox instance of Debian Jessie
on the odd occasion I need to use them.

They're not usually installed by default but are available via the
package manager of choice (in my case that is Aptitude).  As I recall
the build-essentials package is a meta package that includes most common
build tools as dependencies.

The Pi Foundation has made sure that the Python support is very good.
