Some more context for other readers. Python is available in the standard repos for Ubuntu and presumably CentOS for us with apt and yum. They are focused on stability so will be behind the latest.

but if you want the most recent you have to add another repository like the deadsnakes one for ubuntu.

Or download the source and compile Python yourself (I did this once and it took a long time and gave a lot of errors so would not recommend).

Is there no deadsnakes alternative for CentOS?
