# Run this script in the folder (not $HOME, try ~/python) where you want to put
# the Python libraries.

# To access the installed Python environment, start a fresh shell and source the
# fake_venv.sh file (e.g., ". ~/python/fake_venv.sh").

# If other Python packages that require compilation are used in this
# environment, they might need to be recompiled with GCC.
