Compiling python from scratch with github codespaces

compiling python from scratch can be a useful exercise if you want to understand the build process and potentially make modifications to the python interpreter itself. github codespaces provides a convenient way to set up a development environment directly in your browser, making it easy to compile python without having to install any dependencies locally.

here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to compile python from scratch using github codespaces:

1. **create a github repository:**
start by creating a new github repository where you will store the python source code and any modifications you make. you can create a new repository directly on the github website.

2. **open the repository in github codespaces:**
once you have created the repository, open it in github codespaces by clicking on the "code" button and selecting "open with codespaces".

3. **clone the python repository:**
in the codespaces terminal, clone the official python repository from github. you can do this by running the following command:


4. **configure the build:**
change into the cpython directory and configure the build by running the following commands:


5. **compile python:**
once the configuration is complete, you can compile python by running the make command:


6. **test the compiled python:**
after the compilation process is complete, you can test the compiled python interpreter by running:


7. **make modifications (optional):**
if you want to make modifications to the python interpreter, you can do so in the cpython directory. after making your changes, you will need to recompile python by running `make` again.

8. **commit changes and push to github:**
once you are satisfied with your modifications, commit your changes and push them to your github repository. you can do this by running the following commands:


by following these steps, you can compile python from scratch using github codespaces and even make modifications to the ...
