The Python module packages add useful objects to the Python language. Modules utilized by packages throughout BLFS are listed here, along with their dependencies.
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
If you want to run tests, several of the following modules depend
on the sqlite3 core python module
that has not been built in LFS. It is therefore recommended to
rebuild Python after installing the recommended dependency listed
in Python-3.13.5.
![[Important]](../images/important.png)
In BLFS, we normally build and install Python 3 modules with
pip3. Please take
care that the pip3
install commands in the book should be run as
root unless it's for a Python
virtual environment. Running pip3
install as a non-root user may seem to work fine, but it will
cause the installed module to be inaccessible by other users.
pip3 install will
not reinstall an already installed module by default. For using
the pip3 install
command to upgrade a module (for example, from meson-0.61.3 to
meson-0.62.0), insert --upgrade into the command line. If
it's really necessary to downgrade a module or reinstall the same
version for some reason, insert --force-reinstall into the command
line.
If you have installed make-ca-1.16.1 before and have copied files from /etc/profile.d to a new system, you must install make-ca first prior to installing any Python modules from this page.
The Asciidoc package is a text document format for writing notes, documentation, articles, books, ebooks, slideshows, web pages, man pages and blogs. AsciiDoc files can be translated to many formats including HTML, PDF, EPUB, and man page.

This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
pip3 install --no-index --find-links dist --no-user asciidoc

appropriate "wheel" for this module in the directory dist.
--no-build-isolation:
tells pip3 to run the build in the system environment instead of
creating a temporary build environment.
--no-deps: prevents pip3
from building wheels for the project's dependencies.

CacheControl is a port of the caching algorithms in httplib2 for use with requests session object. It was written because httplib2's better support for caching is often mitigated by its lack of thread safety. The same is true of requests in terms of caching.

Recommonmark is a docutils-compatibility bridge to CommonMark. It allows writing CommonMark inside of Docutils and Sphinx projects. Recommonmark is now deprecated in favor of MyST-Parser. Unfortunately, libinput-1.28.1 depends on this module.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Recommonmark is now deprecated in favor of MyST-Parser. For this reason, a lot of tests have to be disabled because they do not pass with recent versions of Sphinx. The installation can be partially tested with the following command:
pytest -k 'not (test_integration or test_code or test_headings or test_image or test_links or test_lists)'
-w dist: builds the
appropriate "wheel" for this module in the directory dist.
--no-build-isolation:
tells pip3 to run the build in the system environment instead of
creating a temporary build environment.
--no-deps: prevents pip3
from building wheels for the project's dependencies.

make-ca-1.16.1, with p11-kit-0.25.5 (both needed to use system https: certificates, removing an unnecessary dependency on the Certifi module).
PySocks (also needed for testing)
pytest-8.4.1, Flask<2, httpbin, MarkupSafe<2.1, pytest-mock, pytest-httpbin, sphinx<5, trustme, and Werkzeug<2
First apply a patch so that the same environment variable already used to point to system certificates in Python3 following the installation of make-ca can also be used by this module:
patch -Np1 -i ../requests-use_system_certs-1.patch
Build the module:
pip3 wheel -w dist --no-build-isolation --no-deps --no-cache-dir $PWD
Now, as the root user:
pip3 install --no-index --find-links dist --no-user requests
Assuming pytest-8.4.1 is installed, but the other optional dependencies are not, the installation can be tested with the following commands:
Some of the setup instructions below may indicate an error due to dependent module versions, but these errors do not affect the test results.
python3 -m venv --system-site-packages testenv &&
source testenv/bin/activate &&
pip3 install --force-reinstall sphinx\<5 &&
pip3 install pytest-mock \
werkzeug\<2 \
flask\<2 \
pytest-httpbin \
pysocks \
trustme &&
pip3 install --force-reinstall Markupsafe\<2.1 &&
python3 /usr/bin/pytest tests
deactivate
See make-ca-1.16.1 for how to set the environment variable, and for how local copies of the Certifi and Requests modules installed in a virtual environment will override the system certificates.
