安装

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.4/Python-3.6.4.tar.xz
cd Python-3.*
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

注意make install完成后不应该出现Ignoring ensurepip failure: pip 8.1.1 requires SSL/TLS之类提示，出现Successfully installed pip-xxx才正确。

默认安装路径是/usr/local，可以通过prefix选项自定义，比如./configure --prefix=/opt/python3

软链接和alias

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python3
$ alias python=/usr/bin/python3

一般python3目录下已经装好pip3了，如果没有，手动安装pip

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python3 get-pip.py
