Linux下默认系统自带python2.X的版本，这个版本被系统很多程序所依赖，所以不建议删除，如果使用最新的Python3那么我们知道编译安装源码包和系统默认包之间是没有任何影响的，所以可以安装python3和python2共存
1、下载linux平台的python3.x的安装包(我下载的是python3.6版本)
[root@localhost ~]# wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/Python-3.6.1.tgz
2、解压python3.6安装包
[root@localhost ~]# tar xf Python-3.6..tgz
[root@localhost ~]# ll
total
-rw-------. root root Jun : anaconda-ks.cfg
drwxr-xr-x. Mar : Python-3.6.
-rw-r--r--. root root Mar : Python-3.6..tgz
3、安装python3.6，默认安装路径为/usr/local
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local]
#安装报错，缺失依赖库
[root@localhost Python-3.6.]# ./configure

#安装依赖库
[root@localhost Python-3.6.]# yum install gcc #安装python3.
[root@localhost Python-3.6.]# make && make install #make && make install 报错
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available
make: *** [install] Error
#安装zlib-devel
[root@localhost Python-3.6.]# yum install zlib-devel
#重新安装
[root@localhost Python-3.6.]# make && make install
4、python3.6已安装成功，在/usr/local/bin下生成命令python3
[root@localhost local]# ll /usr/local/bin/
total
lrwxrwxrwx. root root Jun : 2to3 -> 2to3-3.6
-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : 2to3-3.6
-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : easy_install-3.6
lrwxrwxrwx. root root Jun : idle3 -> idle3.
-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : idle3.
-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : pip3

-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : python3.
lrwxrwxrwx. root root Jun : python3.-config -> python3.6m-config
-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : python3.6m
-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : python3.6m-config
lrwxrwxrwx. root root Jun : python3-config -> python3.-config
lrwxrwxrwx. root root Jun : pyvenv -> pyvenv-3.6
-rwxr-xr-x. root root Jun : pyvenv-3.6
5、使用python3命令查看版本
[root@localhost local]# python3 -V
Python 3.6.
[root@localhost local]# python3
Python 3.6. (default, Jun , ::)
[GCC 4.8. (Red Hat 4.8.-)] on linux
