Hi,
I have a server with Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and the Python version there
is Python 3.10.6. Is there a safe way to upgrade to the latest version of
Python 3.10 (3.10.9)? I tried with the OS update and upgrade but the Python
version remained the same.
Thanks,
אורי

This is an Ubuntu question, not a Python question.

But, the answer is that you generally shouldn't mess with the Python
version installed by apt on Ubuntu. There are too many other packages
that use it.
It may be safest to install mutliple versions:

You can also use Anaconda to do something similar:

Off the top of my head, I can't recall if it's LTS or not. If you want to
go beyond 3.10.6, it should be possible. As Grant indicated though,
upgrading packages on an Ubuntu system (of any flavor) is the province of
the Ubuntu community.

First, ask: Do you need to? Often patches get backported, but the

version number isn't changed. Find out if there's something fixed in
3.10.9 that still isn't fixed in the version Ubuntu is shipping.

Thank you all.
I'm not familiar with snap update but I did `sudo apt update` & `sudo apt
upgrade`, but about one or two months ago.

You can probably install it from the deadsnakes repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
More than likely it will have your package. See

If you're not familiar with snap, lookup 'snap' 'ubuntu' ...

Many people would rather avoid snap if possible ...

I just last night installed 3.10.9 on Debian Buster following the
directions at
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-python-latest-debian/
I only changed the file name of the Python tarball. However, if you want
to use tkinter, the Tk development libraries need to be on your machine
before you run ./configure. The package name may change, but for me it was
sudo apt-get install tk-dev
(see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5459444/tkinter-python-may-not-be-configured-for-tk)
It does not replace the Debian Python3 link to 3.7.3 so it should not
interfere with normal Debian system services.
(The highest Debian-supported version of Python on Buster is still 3.7+).
