I wish to compile python from source in a way that will work in every $HW_ARCH Linux userland.

What are your advices?

What does your setup look like?

I'm really inexperienced with compiling software, but I'm playing with the idea of automating the creation of stand alone python distributions every time one is release to have a repo of it.

It looks full of gotchas though, espacially when you need to deal with ssl and tkinter.

I don’t know it’s current status but either PyOxidizer or Nuitka are the two Python compilers I’d look to for that. It is full of trade offs, but to an extent that’s many dynamic languages like Python (said as a Python developer)

I already can compile python using "make altinstall", nuitka is more suited to compile a whole python project.

The problem is more, as you said, libc, for compat.
