[New-bugs-announce] [issue37237] python 2.16 from source on Ubuntu 18.04

[Jilguero ostras]

New submission from Jilguero ostras <jilguero888 at gmail.com>:

-Trying to install Python 2.16 from source on Ubuntu 18.04. Latest version is not in repositories.
-Installation completes but I need to install pip from repositories
-modules (e.g. numpy) installed by pip install on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
-installed modules can not be imported on Python
-path /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages is not listed on sys.path
-when added manually, modules are imported with errors and they don't work
-I am installing modules with -t option of pip, to be installed on /home/user01/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages, because it is included on sys.path
-modules are imported to Python with errors



In addition to numpy, other modules fail. I think there is a problem with Python/pip after installation from source.
