Install stretch; base system only. Change sources.list to buster.
Update and upgrade. python3.7 is installed as part of the upgrade.
No snags and completely risk-free. Thirty minutes work at most.
Advising on what else is needed to test the beta software is not
possible as the package name is unknown.
I think this ticks all the boxes apart from compiling. But why
bother compiling when someone has done it for you and buster is
as ready for anything as stretch is?
