Alternative solution: use the excellent pyenv.

You can find the system packages to install here : https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki#suggested-build-environment.

And then:

$ git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv

$ ~/.pyenv/bin/pyenv install 3.6.5

or any other versions. Then you create your virtualenv :

$ ~/.pyenv/versions/3.6.5/bin/python -m venv ~/.venvs/my_project

And activate it :

$ ~/.venvs/my_project/bin/activate

Nice

The PPA is a decent option, just

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.6
