After a lot of searching, I'm still not sure how pyenv is working its magic. On https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki it says: "pyenv will try its best to download and compile the wanted Python version, ..." This suggests that it is getting the source from somewhere (python.org/downloads ?) and then compiling it locally. Is this what it actually does? boB -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
