I don’t expect any pain there.  System distributors usually have a
distribution for the last release that includes binaries for all,
including python, tcl and gcc.  They merely use these to then build
the new software.  I don’t know of any that don’t start with binaries
someplace.  :-)
I'm referring to new system bringups -- ie, there is no prior release to build from. There's a couple of those in progress right now. Package interdependencies are a real problem, but as I stated, this in case python is limited to the testsuite, which can be disabled during the initial building phases.
