The Python folks recommend building from sources, but using a different $prefix, and installing with `make altinstall`. See <https://docs.python.org/3.9/using/unix.html#building-python>. Debian has a nice explanation of how to run different versions of Python. It follows Python's recommendations. Once you download the version you are interested in, upack it, run `./configure --prefix=/opt && make && make test`. Follow it with a `make altinstall`. Also see <https://wiki.debian.org/Python>. If you try Python's method, do not install into /usr/local. Pick a location like /opt/python3.11. Unexpected versions of software in /usr/local can cause quite a bit of pain since /usr/local is often on-path.
