It generally does work; the build dependencies for CPython 3.2 are the same as for CPython 3.5, with maybe one or two new ones added for new modules. So you can ask apt-get to grab you the deps for 3.2 and then build 3.5 from source. That's what I usually do when I build from source control - whether it's CPython or Pike or git or FFMpeg or anything else, I can generally depend on the build deps for the old version being good enough to build the new version. Even when they're not exactly right, they're close enough that it saves a lot of time. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
