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.
