How to keep an old 3.5.2 version along with 3.6?

Im not sure if i am going to use it or not. I tend to have problems with some 3rd party libs and latest python releases. So to just try it i just compiled it and ran it there

./configure
make
./python

Hm! A lots of libraries are still on 2.7 and now 3.6 is on the stage with big changes. Is it compatible with 3.5 at least?

Have you tried a 3.5 string formatting with the 3.6? For example

Don't know what I did wrong, installed seamlessly second attempt
The async generators & comprehensions look interesting, capability of yield and await in same routine.
