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-3.11.5.
![[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.
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.
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.

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.

To build the Python 3 applications, run the following command:
pip3 wheel -w dist --no-build-isolation --no-deps --no-cache-dir $PWD
To install the Python
applications run the following as the root user:
pip3 install --no-index --find-links=dist --no-cache-dir --no-user docutils && for f in /usr/bin/rst*.py; do ln -svf $(basename $f) /usr/bin/$(basename $f .py) done
To reduce the time needed for loading Python scripts,
pip3 install will
compile the scripts with extension .py into byte code and save the result into
.pyc files in the directory
__pycache__. But this package
installs .py scripts into
/usr/bin. So the byte code files
for them will be installed into /usr/bin/__pycache__, which is not allowed by
FHS. Still as the root user,
remove this directory:
rm -rfv /usr/bin/__pycache__
-w dist: builds the
appropriate "wheel" for this module in the directory dist.

These instructions provide the Python2 bindings for libxml2: the Python3 bindings are built as part of libxml2-2.10.4 and most packages in the book do not use these bindings for the older Python2.

creating a temporary build environment.
--no-deps: prevents pip3
from building wheels for the project's dependencies.
--no-index: ignores the
package index (only looking at --find-links URLs instead).
--find-links dist: looks
for links to archives such as wheel (.whl) files in the directory
dist.
--no-cache-dir: disables
the cache to prevent a warning when installing as the
root user.
--no-user: Prevent
mistakenly running the install command as a non-root user.
--upgrade: Upgrade the package to the
newest available version. This option is used with the install
command if a version of the package is already installed.
--force-reinstall: Reinstall the
package even if it is up-to-date. This option is used with the
install command if reinstalling the package or reverting to an
earlier version of the package.
