title: Getting errors / failing tests when installing Python3.4.3 on Lubuntu 14.04
body: <p>I use VMplayer and my OS is Lubuntu 14.04. It comes with a pre-installed python3.4.0 but I want to install python3.4.3. I downloaded the .tar.xz file from <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I then extracted the file and followed the instructions in the README:</p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure
  make
  make test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I initially ran</p>
  
  <pre><code>make test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it said "3 tests failed, 3 altered execution environment and 25 skipped". I posted the question on SO here:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29872734/installing-python3-4-3-3-tests-failed-3-altered-execution-environment-and-25-s">Installing Python3.4.3: 3 tests failed, 3 altered execution environment and 25 skipped</a></p>
  
  <p>I then did</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and did</p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure
  make
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>again and it said:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Python build finished successfully!
  The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found:
  _bz2                  _curses               _curses_panel      
  _dbm                  _gdbm                 _lzma              
  _sqlite3              _tkinter              readline           
  To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>make test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it said </p>
  
  <pre><code>1 test failed:
      test_ssl
  2 tests altered the execution environment:
      test___all__ test_warnings

  <p>There was a bit more code in the middle but I deleted it because it would exceed the body limit. Nonetheless, the main thing is, 1 test failed, 2 tests altered the execution environment and 21 tests skipped.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea why I'm getting failed and skipped tests even though I followed the exact steps on <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the Python downloads page</a>? Is there an easier way to install Python3.4.3 on my OS?</p>
