• Install a few other packages:

  sudo apt install mercurial python

  source ~/path/to/bbndk/bbndk_env.sh
  cd Python-3
  ./build.sh
  

Running on Berrymuch

• Package it up:

  cd nto-armv7/accounts/1000/shared/documents/clitools
  zip -yr python-3.2.zip .
  

• Transfer the package to your Berrymuch device and install with pbpkgadd
• Add to your ~/.profile:

  export PYTHONPATH="/accounts/1000/shared/documents/clitools/lib/python3.2:/accounts/1000/shared/documents/clitools/lib/python3.2/lib-dynload"
