i have upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Xubuntu 18.04 LTS. now i have Python 3.6.8.

i am not stuck on 3.5.2 anymore.

Now can even run this code

for i,word in enumerate('Not a moment too soon'.split(), 2):
    print(f'{word.upper():~^20}')
    print(3_0+i)

Python 3.6 was bye far the biggest Python 3 release,with 16 Python Enhancement Proposals.
There are two new PEP in code over,one may be easy,but can you spot both

i could not find a 3.6 backport, and python environments don't do what what i want (to use it system-wide).

You can use the repository from deadsnakes.
This allows to install pre-compiled Python versions, which are not in the upstream.

How this works, is described here: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install...ntu-18-04/
You can install for example on Ubuntu 18.04 Python 2.3-2.6, 3.1-3.5, 3.7 and 3.8.
2.7 and 3.6 comes from Ubuntu upstream.

3.8? is that out, already?

i compiled 3.7.3 but did not install it. too many (probably important) things were left out. so i might well have to use either Python environments and/or Linux containers. it also failed 1 of the 416 tests (argparse).
