Casual reminder that deadsnakes Python builds are significantly faster than the official Docker image and indygreg builds used by uv. So if you're just using 'FROM python:3.12' in your Dockerfiles, you're leaving a ton of performance on the table. And Python isn't fast to begin with.

I'll post a full tutorial but to get psychopy and opensesame working on ubuntu 22.04 or 23.10:
1. throw a tantrum online
2. add deadsnakes ppa and install python3.11-full python3.11-dev
3. create a venv for psychopy
4. do this: wxpython.org/blog/2017-08...
5. follow pip instructions for both tools
1. throw a tantrum online
2. add deadsnakes ppa and install python3.11-full python3.11-dev
3. create a venv for psychopy
4. do this: wxpython.org/blog/2017-08...
5. follow pip instructions for both tools
running psychopy and/or opensesame on linux has become a true nightmare of incompatible python versions, library conflicts, missing/broken wxPython whl files, etc. I hate it. I hate it. I've used linux for 30 years, from linux from scratch to slackware to arch and I am finally sick of this.

That said, indygreg is much closer to deadsnakes on 3.13.

The deadsnakes team maintains ubuntu package repo with old pythons and python packages. They don’t publish repos with versions of python that are linked against dangerously old libssl. They will create a private repo for you though if you need it. launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/...

Hm, I noticed Ubuntu Oracular has Python 3.13 so I added that version to my benchmark thingy. On 3.13, indygreg and Ubuntu are essentially the same, then deadsnakes, then official Docker. I think you're good here. On 3.12, Ubuntu wins easily.

Hm, might have to issue a correction here. Deadsnakes doesn't actually provide 3.12 on Ubuntu noble, which is the base image I was using. I was benchmarking the default Ubuntu 3.12 build instead.
On this version, credit goes to the Ubuntu folks for a super-fast build.

Interesting, do you know why the deadsnakes builds are faster than the PBS builds? If we're leaving performance on the table for uv users, we'd love to know about it!

What's the best way these days to get nightly builds of #Python versions? I have deadsnakes in the coverage․py nightly action, but some of the builds are over two weeks old and I don't know why. Would pyenv be better? uv?

Python 3.14 ya es la rama estable en 2026, pero tu sistema sigue trayendo una version vieja. El problema: si tocas el Python de /usr/bin puedes romper hasta el gestor de paquetes. Tres metodos seguros para tener lo nuevo sin que nada explote. 🐍

eu uso e uso poetry tbm. Não foi isso não, alguma coisa que fiz com o ppa do deadsnakes quebrou o python do Linux quando fui atualizar com APT. O que foi esquisito pq eu lembro de ter feito isso, mas tem bastante tempo.

I can’t say for certain, but the deadsnakes team would know and they will help if they can.
