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:
https://bgasparotto.com/install-pyenv-ubuntu-debian

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).
