"configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" When trying to upgrade Python to latest version

New at this so please bare with me. Following these instructions trying update to the latest version of Python
https://www.vultr.com/docs/update-python3-on-centos/
I get all the way to step 2.5 and get the following:

Is there something that I need to install within my Linux (Centos 7) to get this to work?
My current Python Version is 3.6.8

How to rewrite a makefile to distutils.core.Extension

I have the following makefile:
g++ -o OUTPUT runner.cpp main.cpp src/file1.cpp src/file2.cpp

-I/usr/local/cpp_gpu/include/opencv4
I want to rewrite this to a Extension of distutils.core so that it later on can be used in a Cython setup. The documentation is a little unclear about how I should do this. This is what I got thus far (in setup.py).
includes_dirs = [numpy.get_include(), '/usr/local/cpp_gpu/lib', '/usr/local/cuda/lib64']
library_dirs = ['/usr/local/cpp_gpu/include/opencv4']
args = ['-Wno-cpp']
files = ["src/file1.cpp", "src/file2.cpp", "main.cpp", "OUTPUT.pyx"]
libraries = ['opencv_gapi', 'opencv_stitching', 'opencv_aruco', 'opencv_bgsegm', 'opencv_bioinspired', 'opencv_ccalib',
'opencv_cudabgsegm', 'opencv_cudafeatures2d', 'opencv_cudaobjdetect', 'opencv_cudastereo', 'opencv_dnn_objdetect',
'opencv_dnn_superres', 'opencv_dpm', 'opencv_face', 'opencv_freetype', 'opencv_fuzzy', 'opencv_hdf', 'opencv_hfs',
'opencv_img_hash', 'opencv_intensity_transform', 'opencv_line_descriptor', 'opencv_mcc', 'opencv_quality',
'opencv_rapid', 'opencv_reg', 'opencv_rgbd', 'opencv_saliency', 'opencv_stereo', 'opencv_structured_light',
'opencv_phase_unwrapping', 'opencv_superres', 'opencv_surface_matching', 'opencv_tracking', 'opencv_highgui',
'opencv_datasets', 'opencv_text', 'opencv_plot', 'opencv_videostab', 'opencv_cudaoptflow', 'opencv_optflow',

'opencv_cudafilters', 'opencv_imgproc', 'opencv_cudaarithm', 'opencv_core', 'opencv_cudev', 'dl', 'm', 'pthread', 'rt']
libraries += ['cudart', 'nppc', 'nppial', 'nppicc', 'nppicom', 'nppidei', 'nppif', 'nppig', 'nppim', 'nppist', 'nppisu',
'nppitc', 'npps', 'cublas', 'cudnn', 'cufft ']
ext_modules = [Extension(
"OUTPUT",
files,
language='c++',
include_dirs=includes_dirs,
library_dirs=library_dirs,
extra_compile_args=args,
libraries=libraries
)]
The compilation however fails with the error message (works fine if used with the makefile):
src/file1.hpp:7:34: fatal error: opencv2/cudaarithm.hpp: No such file or directory
#include <opencv2/cudaarithm.hpp>

I found the problem the include dirs and library dirs should be switched:
includes_dirs = [numpy.get_include(), '/usr/local/cpp_gpu/include/opencv4']
library_dirs = ['/usr/local/cpp_gpu/lib', '/usr/local/cuda/lib64']

Copying a portion of .docx file (keep formatting and images)

Good day SO,
I am trying to copy a part of a .docx file into another .docx file, while keeping the formatting of the copied part, as well as any images, using python.
I have tried python-docx but i am unable to find anything regarding images. Link to my previous qn here: Extracting .docx data, images and structure
Is there a way for me to copy a part of a document, lets say DocA, and insert it into the ending of DocB (Including images and formatting, basically a clean copy and paste situation)?
Thanks alot!
EDIT:
I have managed to find paragraphs containing images in DocA using the following code. I understand that it is a very hack-ish way as I am a complete beginner in python-docx, but here it is:
for x in document.paragraphs:
if "<w:pict" in x._p.xml:
print(x._p.xml)
Using this code, I successfully managed to find paragraphs containing the said images in the document. However, I am still unable to copy the image over to DocB (It appears as blanks in DocB), which is because (based on my understanding) I didn't extract the image data from the .docx file DocA.
EDIT 2:
Here is the XML of the Paragraph object containing the images:

The images are in the docx file, but do not show up in document.inline_shapes (python-docx), hence I have no idea how to continue.. any help appreciated :)

Check this code you can identify the location of an image after a specific text:
tags = []
for t in document.element.getiterator():
if t.tag in ['{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}r','{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}t','{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}drawing']:
if t.tag == '{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}drawing':
print('Picture Found')
else:
print(t.text)

Check this code. You can extract image position between two texts and image name by:
tags = []
text = []
for t in doc.element.getiterator():
if t.tag in ['{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}r', '{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}t','{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture}cNvPr','{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}drawing']:
if t.tag == '{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture}cNvPr':
print('Picture Found: ',t.attrib['name'])
tags.append('Picture')
text.append(t.attrib['name'])
elif t.text:
tags.append('text')
text.append(t.text)
You can check previous and next text from text list and their tag from the tag list.
If you have extracted the image location and image name then you can add the image in your docx file by this code
from docx import Document
document = Document()
p = document.add_paragraph()
r = p.add_run()
r.add_text('Good Morning every body,This is my ')
r.add_picture('/tmp/foo.jpg')
r.add_text(' do you like it?')
document.save('demo.docx')
You can access the image by unzipping your docx file. when you will unzip you will get different folders. You can access all the images in the file from word/media folder
Check this link for unzipping a docx file
https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-extract-data-from-ms-word-documents-using-python-ed3fbb48c122

This may not be a direct answer to your question, but it is worth considering.
If you have control over docA, have you considered the use of a docx template? In my problem I needed to generate reports from a template, so I had to copy information from python variables into a document, to generate a report. I found this project library which does replacement: https://github.com/elapouya/python-docx-template
Finally, you can replace the content from your variables like this:
from docxtpl import DocxTemplate
doc = DocxTemplate("my_word_template.docx")
context = { 'company_name' : "World company" }
doc.render(context)
doc.save("generated_doc.docx")
I have not checked but I believe this does preserve formatting. Here is an example of what my template looked like before replacing variables:

Build failed for python 3.5.1 on Cygwin (Could not allocate TLS entry)

I've been trying to make python build from sources through cygwin64 on windows7. I've ran into some issues I've been able to fix but I'm stuck on this one.
I get a "Fatal python error: Could not allocate TLS entry".
Here's the end of the build logs.

Has anyone seen this or has a workaround?

Python unicode decode not working for outlook exported csv

Hi I've exported an outlook contacts csv file and loaded it into a python shell.
I have a number of European names in the list and the following for example
tmp = 'Fern\xc3\x9fndez'
tmp.encode("latin-1")
results in an error
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)
while
tmp.decode('latin-1')
gives me
u'Fern\xc3\x9fndez'
How do I get the text to read as Fernandez? (not too worried about the accents - but happy to have them)

You must be using Python 2.x. Here is one way to print out the character (depending on which encoding you are working with):
>>> tmp = 'Fern\xc3\x9fndez'
>>> print tmp.decode('utf-8') # print formats the string for stdout
Fernßndez
>>> print tmp.decode('latin1')
FernÃndez
Are you sure you have the right character? Is it utf-8? And another way:
>>> print unicode(tmp, 'latin1')
FernÃndez
>>> print unicode(tmp, 'utf-8')
Fernßndez
Interesting. So none of these options worked for you? Incidentally, I ran the string through a few other encodings just to see if any of them had a character more in line with what I would expect. Unfortunately, I don't see any that look quite right:
