I have try searching both this forum and a web search, but couldn't find anything.
I am running Linux Lite 3.6
That has Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01) installed from the repository and IDLE for 3.5.
Following a tutorial in The Python Manual (https://bdmpublications.com/buy/linux-an...ual-vol-35), I installed Python 3.7
I looked to see if I could change the version of Python that IDLE uses, but found that each version of Python has a corresponding version of IDLE. But, I could not find IDLE for 3.7
I then did the heretical thing and RTFM, where I found section 26.5, which told me the source code was in "lib/idlelib/" of the Python 3.7.0 directory.
I went there in the terminal and tried ./configure, only to get "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory".
Can someone please give a few pointers as to what I am doing wrong?
