compiling various versions of Python, which toolchain? - Skaperen - Jun-05-2019
is there info on which toolchains the Python developers tested old versions of Python with (especially the compiler). i am building a script to compile every version. i'm sure some old C code will be a problem with the latest compilers.

You should use pyenv if you need many versions of python. The list is exhaustive see below:
Pyenv available versions:
$ pyenv install --list Available versions: 2.1.3 2.2.3 2.3.7 2.4.0 2.4.1 2.4.2 2.4.3 2.4.4 2.4.5 2.4.6 2.5.0 2.5.1 2.5.2 2.5.3 2.5.4 2.5.5 2.5.6 2.6.6 2.6.7 2.6.8 2.6.9 2.7.0 2.7-dev 2.7.1 2.7.2 2.7.3 2.7.4 2.7.5 2.7.6 2.7.7 2.7.8 2.7.9 2.7.10 2.7.11 2.7.12 2.7.13 2.7.14 2.7.15 2.7.16 3.0.1 3.1.0 3.1.1 3.1.2 3.1.3 3.1.4 3.1.5 3.2.0 3.2.1 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.2.4 3.2.5 3.2.6 3.3.0 3.3.1 3.3.2 3.3.3 3.3.4 3.3.5 3.3.6 3.3.7 3.4.0 3.4-dev 3.4.1 3.4.2 3.4.3 3.4.4 3.4.5 3.4.6 3.4.7 3.4.8 3.4.9 3.4.10 3.5.0 3.5-dev 3.5.1 3.5.2 3.5.3 3.5.4 3.5.5 3.5.6 3.5.7 3.6.0 3.6-dev 3.6.1 3.6.2 3.6.3 3.6.4 3.6.5 3.6.6 3.6.7 3.6.8 3.7.0 3.7-dev 3.7.1 3.7.2 3.7.3 3.8-dev activepython-2.7.14 activepython-3.5.4 activepython-3.6.0 anaconda-1.4.0 anaconda-1.5.0 anaconda-1.5.1 anaconda-1.6.0 anaconda-1.6.1 anaconda-1.7.0 anaconda-1.8.0 anaconda-1.9.0 anaconda-1.9.1 anaconda-1.9.2 anaconda-2.0.0 anaconda-2.0.1 anaconda-2.1.0 anaconda-2.2.0 anaconda-2.3.0 anaconda-2.4.0 anaconda-4.0.0 anaconda2-2.4.0 anaconda2-2.4.1 anaconda2-2.5.0 anaconda2-4.0.0 anaconda2-4.1.0 anaconda2-4.1.1 anaconda2-4.2.0 anaconda2-4.3.0 anaconda2-4.3.1 anaconda2-4.4.0 anaconda2-5.0.0 anaconda2-5.0.1 anaconda2-5.1.0 anaconda2-5.2.0 anaconda2-5.3.0 anaconda2-5.3.1 anaconda2-2018.12 anaconda2-2019.03 anaconda3-2.0.0 anaconda3-2.0.1 anaconda3-2.1.0 anaconda3-2.2.0 anaconda3-2.3.0 anaconda3-2.4.0 anaconda3-2.4.1 anaconda3-2.5.0 anaconda3-4.0.0 anaconda3-4.1.0 anaconda3-4.1.1 anaconda3-4.2.0 anaconda3-4.3.0 anaconda3-4.3.1 anaconda3-4.4.0 anaconda3-5.0.0 anaconda3-5.0.1 anaconda3-5.1.0 anaconda3-5.2.0 anaconda3-5.3.0 anaconda3-5.3.1 anaconda3-2018.12 anaconda3-2019.03 ironpython-dev ironpython-2.7.4 ironpython-2.7.5 ironpython-2.7.6.3 ironpython-2.7.7 jython-dev jython-2.5.0 jython-2.5-dev jython-2.5.1 jython-2.5.2 jython-2.5.3 jython-2.5.4-rc1 jython-2.7.0 jython-2.7.1 micropython-dev micropython-1.9.3 micropython-1.9.4 micropython-1.10 miniconda-latest miniconda-2.2.2 miniconda-3.0.0 miniconda-3.0.4 miniconda-3.0.5 miniconda-3.3.0 miniconda-3.4.2 miniconda-3.7.0 miniconda-3.8.3 miniconda-3.9.1 miniconda-3.10.1 miniconda-3.16.0 miniconda-3.18.3 miniconda2-latest miniconda2-3.18.3 miniconda2-3.19.0 miniconda2-4.0.5 miniconda2-4.1.11 miniconda2-4.3.14 miniconda2-4.3.21 miniconda2-4.3.27 miniconda2-4.3.30 miniconda3-latest miniconda3-2.2.2 miniconda3-3.0.0 miniconda3-3.0.4 miniconda3-3.0.5 miniconda3-3.3.0 miniconda3-3.4.2 miniconda3-3.7.0 miniconda3-3.8.3 miniconda3-3.9.1 miniconda3-3.10.1 miniconda3-3.16.0 miniconda3-3.18.3 miniconda3-3.19.0 miniconda3-4.0.5 miniconda3-4.1.11 miniconda3-4.2.12 miniconda3-4.3.11 miniconda3-4.3.14 miniconda3-4.3.21 miniconda3-4.3.27 miniconda3-4.3.30 pypy-c-jit-latest pypy-c-nojit-latest pypy-dev pypy-stm-2.3 pypy-stm-2.5.1 pypy-1.5-src pypy-1.5 pypy-1.6 pypy-1.7 pypy-1.8 pypy-1.9 pypy-2.0-src pypy-2.0 pypy-2.0.1-src pypy-2.0.1 pypy-2.0.2-src pypy-2.0.2 pypy-2.1-src pypy-2.1 pypy-2.2-src pypy-2.2 pypy-2.2.1-src pypy-2.2.1 pypy-2.3-src pypy-2.3 pypy-2.3.1-src pypy-2.3.1 pypy-2.4.0-src pypy-2.4.0 pypy-2.5.0-src pypy-2.5.0 pypy-2.5.1-src pypy-2.5.1 pypy-2.6.0-src pypy-2.6.0 pypy-2.6.1-src pypy-2.6.1 pypy-4.0.0-src pypy-4.0.0 pypy-4.0.1-src pypy-4.0.1 pypy-5.0.0-src pypy-5.0.0 pypy-5.0.1-src pypy-5.0.1 pypy-5.1-src pypy-5.1 pypy-5.1.1-src pypy-5.1.1 pypy-5.3-src pypy-5.3 pypy-5.3.1-src pypy-5.3.1 pypy-5.4-src pypy-5.4 pypy-5.4.1-src pypy-5.4.1 pypy-5.6.0-src pypy-5.6.0 pypy-5.7.0-src pypy-5.7.0 pypy-5.7.1-src pypy-5.7.1 pypy2-5.3-src pypy2-5.3 pypy2-5.3.1-src pypy2-5.3.1 pypy2-5.4-src pypy2-5.4 pypy2-5.4.1-src pypy2-5.4.1 pypy2-5.6.0-src pypy2-5.6.0 pypy2-5.7.0-src pypy2-5.7.0 pypy2-5.7.1-src pypy2-5.7.1 pypy2.7-5.8.0-src pypy2.7-5.8.0 pypy2.7-5.9.0-src pypy2.7-5.9.0 pypy2.7-5.10.0-src pypy2.7-5.10.0 pypy2.7-6.0.0-src pypy2.7-6.0.0 pypy2.7-7.0.0-src pypy2.7-7.0.0 pypy2.7-7.1.0-src pypy2.7-7.1.0 pypy2.7-7.1.1-src pypy2.7-7.1.1 pypy3-dev pypy3-2.3.1-src pypy3-2.3.1 pypy3-2.4.0-src pypy3-2.4.0 pypy3.3-5.2-alpha1-src pypy3.3-5.2-alpha1 pypy3.3-5.5-alpha-src pypy3.3-5.5-alpha pypy3.5-c-jit-latest pypy3.5-5.7-beta-src pypy3.5-5.7-beta pypy3.5-5.7.1-beta-src pypy3.5-5.7.1-beta pypy3.5-5.8.0-src pypy3.5-5.8.0 pypy3.5-5.9.0-src pypy3.5-5.9.0 pypy3.5-5.10.0-src pypy3.5-5.10.0 pypy3.5-5.10.1-src pypy3.5-5.10.1 pypy3.5-6.0.0-src pypy3.5-6.0.0 pypy3.5-7.0.0-src pypy3.5-7.0.0 pypy3.6-7.0.0-src pypy3.6-7.0.0 pypy3.6-7.1.0-src pypy3.6-7.1.0 pypy3.6-7.1.1-src pypy3.6-7.1.1 pyston-0.5.1 pyston-0.6.0 pyston-0.6.1 stackless-dev stackless-2.7-dev stackless-2.7.2 stackless-2.7.3 stackless-2.7.4 stackless-2.7.5 stackless-2.7.6 stackless-2.7.7 stackless-2.7.8 stackless-2.7.9 stackless-2.7.10 stackless-2.7.11 stackless-2.7.12 stackless-2.7.14 stackless-3.2.2 stackless-3.2.5 stackless-3.3.5 stackless-3.3.7 stackless-3.4-dev stackless-3.4.1 stackless-3.4.2 stackless-3.4.7 stackless-3.5.4
RE: compiling various versions of Python, which toolchain? - Skaperen - Jun-05-2019
in order to use pyenv i need to understand how it carries out its function and what all it does interfacing with the system. does it create a Linux container when run on Linux? i am wanting to create a container to make it have the appearance of a system (maybe a different version of Ubuntu) that has that version of Python as the system Python. i simply have no idea how much of this can be done in pyenv. and i have no idea what kind of impact it has on the host system. for example, can i run a copy of Xorg inside pyenv? can i run root-privileged processes in pyenv? how secure is pyenv? where can i get documentation at this level, instead of promotional text?
how does pyenv load up the appropriate version of Python? does it compile source code? does it download the appropriate toolchain versions or just hope that the version on the system will work (doubtful across all versions of Python)? or does it download a binary that matches your architecture? if the latter, which architectures are available? are both 64-bit and 32-bit available? suppose i want to run a 32-bit version of Python on my 64-bit host? i can do that in emulation and even in a container (though a 32-bit container on a 64-bit host ends up with processes that can go all the way to a full 4GB of virtual memory unlike running on 32-bit hardware or 32-bit emulation).
