Huh. I wonder what's different about my build: $ /usr/local/cpython-0.9/bin/python below cmd output started 2021 Thu Feb 18 10:24:00 PM PST

You can download a script to build it and a bunch of other python versions at https://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/cpythons/ It includes all the tarballs you should need, at least for Debian. I believe I used it on CentOS recently as well. I haven't tried it on Ubuntu in a while. It depends on https://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/cobble.html - and I'd like to think that's its only external dependency.
