As I vaguely understand it (having never used this myself), the rh-python34 package is supported by Red Hat, and is like any other package for the most part. Looking at that page it does look a bit more complex than option 2 to me, but I've built and installed Python several times over the past few years :) Option 2: compile and install yourself. At a minimum, you'll need a c compiler (gcc, icc, or clang are recommended), and development headers for any extension modules that you require (I'd recommend openssl-devel and readline-devel at the least). Then download the source [2], extract it, and run `cd Python-3.4.4 && ./configure && make profile-opt && make test && sudo make install`. That series of commands will give you python installed in `/usr/local/` that has been compiled with profile-guided optimization (PGO) and has passed the full Python test suite. If any but the last step fails, nothing will have changed on your system.
