I got Python 3000 (aka 3.0) to compile on my N810. Tip: by default, it uses -O3, which causes gcc (3.4.4) to crash. (I've seen this before; -O3 is so aggressive that some complex C code can make it choke.) Just edit the generated Makefile. It's in just one place, so just search for -O3. (The configure script seems to have no options to set the -O level; setting CFLAGS didn't work.)

Hello, i am trying to make py3k too. But I don't quite know how. Ran ./configure and didn't work straight away.

Can some one list the steps if it differs from the usual make && make install steps?

Many thanks
