### Building Python from Source
Skip to ["Setting Up BitcoinRPC"](17_4_Accessing_Bitcoind_with_Python.md#setting-up-bitcoinrpc) if you already have Python 3 running. Otherwise:
#### 1. Install Dependencies
```sh
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
$ sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev libffi-dev zlib1g-dev
```
#### 2. Download & Extract Python
```sh
$ wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.3/Python-3.8.3.tgz
$ tar -xzf Python-3.8.3.tgz
```
#### 3. Compile Python Source & Check Installation:
```sh
$ cd Python-3.8.3
$ sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
$ sudo make -j 8 # enter the number of cores of your system you want to use to speed up the build process.
$ sudo make altinstall
$ python3.8 --version
```
After you get the version output, remove the source file:
```sh
$ rm Python-3.8.3.tgz
```

Accessing Bitcoind with Python is very easy while using the `python-bitcoinrpc` library. The first thing to always do is to establish connection with your bitcoind instance, then you can basically call all the bitcoin API calls as described in the bitcoin-core documentation. This makes it really easy to create small or large scripts to manage your own node, check balances, or create cool applications on top as you get the full power of `bitcoin-cli`.
