I've introduced Ubuntu 19.04 which has Python 3.7 naturally. I want to work on different projects that actually use Python 3.6

Is there an approach to install it on Disco Dingo

I attempted which deals with 16.04

milano@milano-desktop:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6

...

milano@milano-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install python3.6

 This PPA contains more recent Python versions packaged for Ubuntu.

Disclaimer: there's no guarantee of timely updates in case of security problems or other issues. If you want to use them in a security-or-otherwise-critical environment (say, on a production server), you do so at your own risk.

Update Note

===========

Please use this repository instead of ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes.

Reporting Issues

================

Issues can be reported in the master issue tracker at:

https://github.com/deadsnakes/issues/issues

Supported Ubuntu and Python Versions

====================================

Python 3.6 - Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04

For Ubuntu up to 18.04, there's also packages for old Python versions from 2.3 to 3.4.

The packages may also work on other versions of Ubuntu or Debian, but that is not tested or supported.

Third-Party Python Modules

==========================

Python modules in the official Ubuntu repositories are packaged to work with the Python interpreters from the official repositories. Accordingly, they generally won't work with the Python interpreters from this PPA. As an exception, pure-Python modules for Python 3 will work, but any compiled extension modules won't.

To install 3rd-party Python modules, you should use the common Python packaging tools.  For an introduction into the Python packaging ecosystem and its tools, refer to the Python Packaging User Guide:

https://packaging.python.org/installing/

Sources

The package sources are available at:

You can also install the source of python 3.6.8 or 3.6.7 (these are an immediate link to .xz source documents)

These are actually few contents from the README.rst record of the source 

Build Instructions

------------------

On Unix, Linux, BSD, macOS, and Cygwin::

    ./configure

    make

    make test

    sudo make install

This will install Python as python3.

On the off chance that you need python3.6 introduce as python3.6(not python3) in your system here are some other rules in the README.rst document

For example, if you want to install Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6 with 3.6 being the

primary version, you would execute ``make install`` in your 3.6 build directory

and ``make altinstall`` in the others.

Thanks.
