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...

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:

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).
