This repository orchestrates tools to produce Python binaries. The Python language is open source, please see the official documentation at https://www.python.org/.
These binaries are not a replacement to existing binary distributions for Python. The binaries were built with the following considerations:
Please open an issue to report a specific bug, or ask questions on RStudio Community.
Python binaries are built for the following Linux operating systems:
To use our quick install script to install Python, simply run the following command. To use the quick installer, you must have root or sudo privileges, and curl must be installed.
bash -c "$(curl -L https://rstd.io/python-install)"
Define the version of Python that you want to install. Available versions of Python can be found here: https://cdn.rstudio.com/python/versions.json
Download and install PythonDownload the deb package:
# Ubuntu 20.04
wget https://cdn.rstudio.com/python/ubuntu-2004/pkgs/python-${PYTHON_VERSION}_1_amd64.deb
# Ubuntu 22.04
wget https://cdn.rstudio.com/python/ubuntu-2204/pkgs/python-${PYTHON_VERSION}_1_amd64.deb
# Ubuntu 24.04
wget https://cdn.rstudio.com/python/ubuntu-2404/pkgs/python-${PYTHON_VERSION}_1_amd64.deb
Then install the package:
sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi python-${PYTHON_VERSION}_1_amd64.deb
sudo yum install yum-utils sudo yum-config-manager --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms"
Download the rpm package:
# RHEL 8
wget https://cdn.rstudio.com/python/centos-8/pkgs/python-${PYTHON_VERSION}-1-1.x86_64.rpm
Then install the package:
sudo yum install python-${PYTHON_VERSION}-1-1.x86_64.rpm
Enable the Python backports repository (SLES 12 only):
# SLES 12 VERSION="SLE_$(grep "^VERSION=" /etc/os-release | sed -e 's/VERSION=//' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/-/_/')" sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python:/backports/$VERSION/devel:languages:python:backports.repo
Download the rpm package:
# openSUSE 15.3 / SLES 15 SP3
wget https://cdn.rstudio.com/python/opensuse-153/pkgs/python-${PYTHON_VERSION}-1-1.x86_64.rpm
Then install the package:
sudo zypper --no-gpg-checks install python-${PYTHON_VERSION}-1-1.x86_64.rpm Verify Python installation
Test that Python was successfully installed by running:
/opt/python/${PYTHON_VERSION}/bin/python --version Add Python to the system path
To ensure that Python is available on the system path, create symbolic links to the version of Python that you installed:
sudo ln -s /opt/python/${PYTHON_VERSION}/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python Optional post-installation steps
If you want to install multiple versions of Python on the same system, you can repeat these steps to install a different version of Python alongside existing versions.
This repository orchestrates builds using a variety of tools. The instructions below outline the components in the stack and describe how to add a new platform or inspect an existing platform.
Create a builder/Dockerfile.platform-version (where platform-version is ubuntu-2204 or rhel-9, etc.) This file must contain four major tasks:
OS_IDENTIFIER env with the platform-version.awscli, 1.17.10+ if installed via pip, for uploading tarballs to S3COPY and ENTRYPOINT for the build.sh file in builder/.A new service in the docker-compose file named according to the platform-version and containing the proper entries:
command: ./build.sh
environment:
- PYTHON_VERSION=${PYTHON_VERSION} # for testing out Python builds locally
- LOCAL_STORE=/tmp/output # ensures that output tarballs are persisted locally
build:
context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile.debian-12
image: python-builds:debian-12
volumes:
- ./integration/tmp:/tmp/output # path to output tarballs
IN serverless-resources.yml you'll need to add a job definition that points to the ECR image.
pythonBuildsBatchJobDefinitionDebian12:
Type: AWS::Batch::JobDefinition
Properties:
Type: container
ContainerProperties:
Command:
- ./build.sh
Vcpus: 4
Memory: 4096
JobRoleArn:
"Fn::GetAtt": [ pythonBuildsEcsTaskIamRole, Arn ]
Image: #{AWS::AccountId}.dkr.ecr.#{AWS::Region}.amazonaws.com/python-builds:debian-12
The serverless functions which trigger Python builds need to be informed of new platforms.
JOB_DEFINITION_ARN_PlatformVersion env variable with a ref to the Job definition above.platform-version to SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS.environment:
# snip
JOB_DEFINITION_ARN_debian_12:
Ref: pythonBuildsBatchJobDefinitionDebian12
SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS: centos-8,debian-12
In order for the makefile to push these new platforms to ECR, add them to the PLATFORMS variable near the top of the Makefile
Once you've followed the steps above, submit a pull request. On successful merge, builds for this platform will begin to be available from the CDN.
Periodically, someone with access to these resources may need to re-trigger every Python version/platform combination. This quite easy with the serverless tool installed.
# Rebuild all Python versions
serverless invoke stepf -n pythonBuilds -d '{"force": true}'
# Rebuild specific Python versions
serverless invoke stepf -n pythonBuilds -d '{"force": true, "versions": ["3.10.1", "3.11.9"]}'
To test the Python builds locally, you can build the images:
# Build images for all platforms make docker-build # Or build the image for a single platform (cd builder && docker compose build ubuntu-2404)
Then run the build script:
# Build Python for all platforms PYTHON_VERSION=3.11.9 make docker-build-python # Build pre-release version for all platforms PYTHON_VERSION=3.13.0rc3 make docker-build-python # Build Python for a single platform (cd builder && PYTHON_VERSION=3.11.9 docker compose up ubuntu-2404) # Alternatively, run the build script from within a container docker run -it --rm --entrypoint "/bin/bash" python-builds:ubuntu-2404 # Build Python 3.11.9 PYTHON_VERSION=3.11.9 ./build.sh
