%general-entities; ]> $Date$ Python Dependencies Python modules listed in have dependencies that are not referenced by other packages in BLFS. These dependencies are listed here. They will not get updated on regular basis, unless a more recent version is needed. In BLFS, we normally build and install Python 3 modules with pip3. Please take care that the pip3 install commands in the book should be run as &root; unless it's for a Python virtual environment. Running pip3 install as a non-&root; user may seem to work fine, but it will cause the installed module to be inaccessible by other users. pip3 install will not reinstall an already installed module by default. For using the pip3 install command to upgrade a module (for example, from meson-0.61.3 to meson-0.62.0), insert --upgrade into the command line. If it's really necessary to downgrade a module or reinstall the same version for some reason, insert --force-reinstall into the command line.
