Thanks Samson.

We don't have any RPMs of the Python 3 branches or pull requests.

You would need to run Fedora, remove Sugar packages from the system,
and then install Sugar from each component source using the autogen,
configure, make, make install sequence.

Best to do this in a virtual machine, with snapshots, because it can
easily make a system not restartable and getting out of that condition
can be way more complicated than getting into it.
