Will mention again that pyenv do this with ease,and in safe way.

mint@mint ~ $ pyenv install 3.6.2

mint@mint ~ $ python

Going back,it do not mess with OS default setup.

ok, so there could be things (to the degree Ubuntu has not upgraded things) that leave my system messed up and maybe even messed up bad or even messed up so bad the only practical fix is to hard format and reinstall. ok, i will skip that idea or do it in a virtual machine (on an image i can delete).
