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
