You will want to let the Debian python packages alone, and install new pythons from source in /opt/python-VER or such. Then use venvs to make sure that you are always getting the python you really want. Python source releases are here: https://www.python.org/downloads/source/ Once you get one compiled, the process will be pretty similar for any other. -dsr-
