Linux Mint 19 comes with Python 3.6.5 pre-installed....

this upgrade.

Unlike many distributions, Mint's philosophy is *not* to install most updates by default, on the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" theory.

That being said, if you do want to update to the latest version available for Mint, this command should do it for you:

  sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade python3

If Mint doesn't have a vetted 3.6.6 yet, I would leave it alone.
