pythonz: a Python installation managerOverviewpythonz is a program to automate the building and installation of Python in the users $HOME. This is
a fork of the original project,pythonbrew.The original project seems to be unmaintained, and it also has some extra features which I don’t really
need, so I made this for to make something a bit simpler that works forme. You may also find it
useful.CPython, Stackless, PyPy and Jython are supported.InstallationThe recommended way to download and install pythonz is to run these statements in your shell:curl -kL https://raw.github.com/saghul/pythonz/master/pythonz-install | bashor:fetch -o - https://raw.github.com/saghul/pythonz/master/pythonz-install | bashAfter that, pythonz installs itself to~/.pythonz.Please add the following line to the end of your~/.bashrc:[[ -s $HOME/.pythonz/etc/bashrc ]] && source $HOME/.pythonz/etc/bashrcIf you need to install pythonz into somewhere else, you can do that by setting aPYTHONZ_ROOTenvironment variable:export PYTHONZ_ROOT=/path/to/pythonz
curl -kLO https://raw.github.com/saghul/pythonz/master/pythonz-install
chmod +x pythonz-install
./pythonz-installFor Systemwide (Multi-User) installationIf the install script is run as root, pythonz will automatically install into/usr/local/pythonz.pythonz will be automatically configured for every user on the system if you install it as root.After installing it, where you would normally usesudo, non-root users will need to usesudo-pythonz:sudo-pythonz install 2.7.3Before installing Pythons via PythonzYou might want to install some optional dependencies, for functionality that
is often expected to be included in a Python build (it can be a bummer to discover these missing and
have to rebuild your python setup). These include the following, ordered by (very roughly guessed)
probability that you will need them:Debian family (Ubuntu…)sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libsqlite3-dev libgdbm-dev libdb-dev libexpat-dev libpcap-dev liblzma-dev libpcre3-devIf you need tkinter support, addtk-dev.RPM family (CentOS, RHEL…)yum groupinstall "Development tools"

for DTrace have been taken fromthis pageby Jesús Cea.Building Python with DTrace support:pythonz install --configure="--with-dtrace" 2.7.6LicensePermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
