The tutorial says:

"The Python interpreter is usually installed as /usr/local/bin/python on
those machines where it is available"

Shouldn't that be "python3" or "python-3.0"?  And the same throughout
the rest of the tutorial?

make install seems to think that Python 3 should not be installed as
"python", and should be installed as "python-3.0".

"make install" actually installs as "python3.0" (and not as
"python-3.0", nor "python3", nor "python").
