unable to build python3.10

[sandeep-gh]

I have spun a docker instance for termux-package for building python3.10rc2. My packages/python/build.sh looks as follows:

Not sure why the build process is looking for python3.10.

You need a python3.10 interpretor on host to cross compile python3.10 🙂. You must be able to grab it from official releases, did you try?
