+# If you run into crashing when running addons, the problem is with the
+# python3 version that was released with 15.0 (3.9.12). This has been
+# fixed in a newer release, but it hasn't made it to 15.0 yet. You can
+# either deal with the crashes and wait until it's updated in 15.0 or
+# build your own updated package using the newer source tarball. The
+# instructions to do that are below.
+
+# NOTE: This README has been designed to allow you to run it as root
+#       and have it build and upgrade the python3 package.
+#       Run at your own risk.
+#
+# As root:
+# sh /usr/doc/kodi-19.4/README.python
