Python Source Releases
About Source Releases
For most Unix systems, you must download and compile the source code. The same source code archive can also be used to build the Windows and Mac versions, and is the starting point for ports to all other platforms.
Download the latest Python 3 and Python 2 source. Read more about the Python development process or consult the Developer's Guide for contributing to Python.
