Compiling Python 3.4 is not copying pip
Question:
I have compiled Python 3.4 from the sources on Linux Mint, but for some reason it is not copying pip to its final compiled folder (after the make install).
Any ideas?
Answers:
According to PEP 453 — Explicit bootstraping of pip in Python installation:
Installing from source
Just as the prebuilt binary installers will be updated to run python
-m ensurepip by default, a similar change will be made to the make install and make altinstall commands of the source distribution. The
directory settings in the sysconfig module should ensure the pip
components are automatically installed to the expected locations.
After installing from source code, I found that pip3.4 is put in the destination. (No pip nor pip3)
Just sorted it out. Here it is how to compile python from the sources.
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/user/sources/compiled/python3.4_dev --with-ensurepip=install
$ make
$ make install
If you get “Ignoring ensurepip failure: pip 1.5.4 requires SSL/TLS” error:
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev openssl
$ ls
2to3 idle3 pip3.5 python3 python3.5m pyvenv
2to3-3.5 idle3.5 pydoc3 python3.5 python3.5m-config pyvenv-3.5
easy_install-3.5 pip3 pydoc3.5 python3.5-config python3-config
As you can see pip is copied into target folder, the --with-ensurepip=install is important.
If you are in Redhat linux (centos, fedora) install following package.
yum install openssl-devel -y
