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)

Hi,
 
Debian Linux seems to love Python 3.7 - that is shown by apt-get list, and it's installed on my Debian Server.
 
But I need at least Python 3.8
 
Is there a repository which I can give to apt to get Python 3.8 or later?
 
Or do I really have to install and compile these versions manually? I'm not a friend of things so deep in the system...
 
Greetings
Ulrich
