Now the dependancies have been installed we can go ahead and get the python tar:
<sxh bash>
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.10/Python-2.7.10.tgz
</sxh>
<sxh bash>
tar -zxvf Python-2.7.10.tgz
</sxh>
<sxh bash>
cd Python-2.7.10
</sxh>
The following command will install the Python interpreter in /usr/local/bin/python2.7
<sxh bash>
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-unicode=ucs4 --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib"
</sxh>
<sxh bash>
make && make altinstall
</sxh>
