As a developper, I faced the same issue and ended in installing `conda` to have a quick access to the various python versions (then I create some venv from the conda environments). I doubt our use-case is common enough to justify having multiple python (again) in Debian. Cheers, Jerome PS: venv are about 10x smaller than conda environments !
