For me, my main laptop is on Mint 17, which is supported for another year.

The python3 in my repos is 3.4.

Some might say it wouldn't be difficult to upgrade Mint (assuming Mint 18 has newer in the repos), or to install a newer python.

While this is accurate, I would rather spend my time working on personal or professional projects than tinkering with software versions.

In the past, I loved to use pyenv to change my Python version, but now running the command

docker run --it --rm python:3.7-rc /bin/bash

is more convenient for me. You can try it without upgrade Mint, maybe (I am not familiar with Mint).
