The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found: bz2 lzma ssl tkinter zlib So what package name should I gave to download the additional source to build the optional module? Questions like this are really better asked on Red Hat forums, but off the top of my head, you need *-devel packages such as zlib-devel, openssl-devel, etc. It is usually easy to figure out from yum search.

I actually have a few suggestions here:

  1. The system build deps for Python 2 should be the same as those for Python 3, so "yum-builddep python" should solve the problem of getting dependencies to do your own build

  2. You may also be interested in Slavek's proposal to add a Python 3.4 stack to EPEL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bkabrda/EPEL7_Python3 (Relevant discussions at [1] and [2])

  3. Alternatively, Software Collections may be a better fit for your use case: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL

As Alexander says though, we're getting a bit off topic for upstream python-dev - this is more a topic for EPEL, CentOS or the Red Hat customer portal.

Regards, Nick.
