Awesome, thanks for the work and the write-up!

I am especially surprised python 3.10 still builds - back when I tried, 
I didn't get further than 3.7...

For those who run ppc Powerbooks: Get an msata- or m2-IDE adapter and 
flash storage. It makes for a world of difference over spinning rust.

Cheerio,
Hauke
