🐍 python3-binary

Binary files for Python 3.

GitHub all releases

🚀 Usage

This repository provides pre-built Python binaries for Linux. Follow the steps below to use them:

  1. 📥 Download the Binary
  • Navigate to the Releases section of this repository.
  • Download the appropriate binary archive for your desired Python version and architecture:
    • .tar.gz or .zip files for manual extraction
    • .deb files for Debian/Ubuntu systems
  1. 📦 Install the Binary

For Debian/Ubuntu systems (recommended):

# Download the .deb file and install
sudo dpkg -i python-<version>-linux-<arch>.deb

# Python will be installed to /opt/python-<version>/bin/
# You can use it directly:
/opt/python-<version>/bin/python3 --version
/opt/python-<version>/bin/pip3 --version

# Or add to your PATH for convenience:
export PATH="/opt/python-<version>/bin:$PATH"
python3 --version

For manual installation:

  • For .tar.gz files:

    tar -xvzf python-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz
    tar -xvzf python-<version>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz -C /desired/path

  • For .zip files:

    unzip python-<version>-linux-<arch>.zip
    unzip python-<version>-linux-<arch>.zip -d /desired/path
  1. 🔧 Set Up Environment (Manual Installation Only)

  • Add the extracted binary directory to your PATH:

    export PATH=/desired/path/bin:$PATH

  • Verify the installation:

    python3 --version
  1. 💻 Start Using Python
  • Debian/Ubuntu users: Python is installed to /opt/python-<version>/ and can be used directly or added to PATH
  • Manual installation users: You can now use the custom Python binary for your projects.

🗑️ Uninstalling (Debian/Ubuntu)

To remove a Python version installed via deb package:

# List installed custom Python packages
dpkg -l | grep python.*custom

# Remove the package (replace with your specific version)
sudo dpkg -r python3.11-custom

# For glibc236 versions
sudo dpkg -r python3.11-custom-glibc236
