[PLUG] Obtaining/compiling/installing python3.7

[Ben Koenig]

Your questions were fine, some of the answers were a bit bogus.

FWIW I recommend learning how to build a .deb package. These days people 
are hyped for containers and virtualization, but package maintenance is 
still a useful tool in every user's shed. To paraphrase Mr. Heinlein's 
answer:

https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-python-3-7-on-debian-9/

is a great link to start with. Read through it, ask questions. Learn to 
configure, make, make install. If you don't understand the steps listed 
in that article there are easily a couple dozen PLUG members who can 
easily explain what each and every one of those commands is doing.


Docker is a lesson all on its own. Set that topic aside for another day.
