I was a tad concerned about the mismatch of versions, but honestly, I don't think I've ever installed Python from testing or unstable (unless I'm running the entire distro on testing). It's much much easier and safer to keep the system Python untouched, and then build my own from source; my "python3" command, at the moment, runs 3.10 pre-alpha.

Debian's packaging of Python has caused multiple issues. I have reported some issues to downstream Debian/Ubuntu.
