Assumptions:
1 "need" for a particular project, cf system-wide
2 use of a virtual-environment for project(s)


Try pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv).

It offers a list of Python versions. When downloaded, it builds a 
version for you - assuming have build-environment s/w in place.

(this is where my lack of Debian knowledge may become obvious)

Thereafter, within the project's virtual-environment can select which 
(installed-version of) Python is to be used.


Am sure there are plenty of how-to-installs. Here's one:
https://bgasparotto.com/install-pyenv-ubuntu-debian

Am using pyenv to support multiple projects initially built during the 
reign of multiple Python versions (which now update annually - next is 
about two weeks away).

Re: Python 3.8 or later on Debian?

Python 3.7 is part of Buster (Debian old old stable)
If you moved to Debian bullseye you would get offered 3.9 (old stable)

Currently the stable version (Bookworm) would give you 3.11

I am not aware of anyone maintaining a repo for old Debian versions to get 
newer Python versions. But I know in the past I did build newer Python versions 
(mostly on raspberry pi’s)

Alexander

My Debian 12 VM has python 3.11.  You must have a very old version of 
Debian. On some VMs (not Debian, I think) I have had other Python 
versions alongside of the system's, e.g., 3.11 and 3.12. I didn't 
compile them myself. You will have to search for a repository with the 
right package.  But upgrade your system first!
