I ported Python 2.7.18 and 3.6.14 to build on Cosmopolitan Libc because I wanted to have the same Python executable and my scripts with me everywhere :) I&amp;#x27;ve updated the blog post for context.&lt;p&gt;The flask demo is unnaturally slow because my old computer is slow (running python tests in the background). plus I was using `_dummy_thread` Python3.6&amp;#x27;s pure-python threads implementation.</text></comment>
