For those interested, here's how I build Python in Docker:
[dockerfile snippet]
FROM ubuntu:18.04

RUN apt-get update -y
RUN TZ=America/Denver\
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive\
apt-get install -y wget\
ca-certificates\
tar\
rar\
wget\
build-essential\
checkinstall\
libreadline-gplv2-dev\
libncursesw5-dev\
libssl-dev\
libsqlite3-dev\
tk-dev\
libgdbm-dev\
libc6-dev\
libbz2-dev\
sudo

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src
WORKDIR /usr/src
RUN wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.18/Python-2.7.18.tgz
RUN tar xzf Python-2.7.18.tgz
WORKDIR /usr/src/Python-2.7.18
RUN ./configure --enable-optimizations --enable-unicode=ucs4 --enable-shared --prefix=/usr --with-ensurepip=install
RUN make -j build_all && make install
RUN ldconfig
[end snippet]

Then in my main Dockerfile for the BBS I use this:
[Mystic Dockerfile snip]
FROM python:2.7.18P
ENV PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python2.7/:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/:/u sr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
[end snip]

If you don't want to use Docker, you can use this a step by step for building Python 2.7.18 on Ubuntu 18.04

Cheers,
Analog

does it replace .16 I think it is? I tried getting up to 18 and it seemed to install but there were some scripts that mystic still couldnt handle, anipause which is a simple script but wouldnt do it, kept getting a mismatch error of somekind...

Not my mod so I wouldn't know. Everything that works in 2.7.16 *should* work
in .18 since it's a "PostRelease" or a minor bug fix of minor version 2.7.
