It can be done easier:  
after installation of appropriate python

> pyver=3.7.4  
> wget [https://www.python.org/ftp/python/${pyver}/Python-${pyver}.tgz](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/$%7Bpyver%7D/Python-$%7Bpyver%7D.tgz)  
> tar xzvf Python-{pyver}.tgz cd Python-{pyver}  
> ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local  
> make  
> make install

it needs to define PYTHONPATH as follows:  
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.local/site-packages

install necessary packages, that is all
