I didn't say "from source", I said "from a VCS checkout". If using a
*specific* recent official release of a core tool is bureaucratically
infeasible, it would IMO be very unusual if you're allowed to checkout
and build arbitrary versions of Python, rather than using a version
provided by your bureaucrats.
The number of people whose job is *specifically* developing Python, or
developing code that depends on bleeding-edge Python, in such an
environment is surely very small.
