I keep getting stuck on one esoteric error after another. I am simply trying to upgrade my existing Python 2.7.6 to 2.7.12. Thats all I want to do!
I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I have followed the instructions here, and make it all the way to the sudo checkinstall command.
However after I execute it, I get a huge list of (seemingly) ok stuff, followed by:
Compiling /usr/local/lib/python2.7/xml/parsers/expat.py ...

Cleaning up...OK
Bye.
I'm getting really frustrated as I don't think this should be this hard... what am I missing? FWIW, I am working in a pip virtual environment.
Thanks.
