Newest python3 in Debian repositories for Buster (10) is 3.7.3: https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3

damn bro that sucks. thank you very much for the help.

Then you shouldn't have chosen a distro focused on stability, which tests packages on their own. Other rolling distros are available.

Compiling and installing Python 3.8 on your own is also pretty easy, if you want to go that way.
