Long story short: I have no working systems capable of compiling the latest Python 3.6, and no time to upgrade my usual machines to something which will work.
However I do have access to another machine (actually a VM) which can compile Python 3.6. It's not practical for me to use it as a my main development machine, but as a temporary measure, I thought I could compile 3.6 on this VM, then copy the python binary to my usual desktop machine. What sort of challenges am I likely to find? Both machines are Linux, but different distros. -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
