Debian package to provide the Python 3.6 release for ev3dev-jessie running on the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 hardware.

Source, packaging and build routines from https://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/armel/python3.6

Uses the ev3dev images for cross compiling. These include the needed build-essentials.

Clone this repository or make adequate changes to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Extract the source and apply changes by running dpkg-source -x python3.6_3.6.0-2.dsc. By default it creates the new folder python3.6-3.6.0. Have a look at the manpage of dpkg-source for further information on the process.

Change to the new directory, containg the extracted source and build the package by running dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc. Afterwards the parent folder contains all the Debian packages with the file ending .deb:

$ ls
