I always found maintaining software installed from tarball on a remote server was difficult at best. You mentioned it will be on CentOS. If you have CentOS 7, the EPEL repository (nearly required by all installations in my opinion), has a package for Python 3.6, called python36. The advantage there is that it will be updated with point releases and kept somewhat secure by your normal yum update process. Also you might check out RedHat's Software Collections at https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/. They have Python 3.6 in it, and I imagine 3.7 will be there soon. Software Collections might not work for you as it installs to /opt and stays out of the default path. It's more for developers who want to play with multiple versions of languages and compilers. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
