Install the latest python (3.8) on EC2

Question

I'm trying to install the latest python version (today = 3.8) onto Amazon EC2 Ubuntu 18.04  
  
I don't understand why doing sudo apt-get install python3 I only have 3.6.8  
  
Using other than Ubuntu 18.04 but Amazon AMI 2, I have 3.7.4  
  
I haven't found anything else on the internet discussing about it. I'd like to use the latest python version available.  
  
Any idea how I should do to install this latest version on my EC2 Ubuntu ?  
  
Thanks

Hello @Eric75,  
  
I understand you are trying to run the latest version of python (3.8) on an Ubuntu AMI.  
  
Can try "sudo apt-get install python3.8"?  
When you run it use "python3.8 function.py"  
  
Hope this is helpful.
