Answer 1

If you are on Red Hat/CentOS:

# To allow for building python ssl libs
yum install openssl-devel
# Download the source of *any* python version
cd /usr/src
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.2/Python-3.6.2.tar.xz
tar xf Python-3.6.2.tar.xz 
cd Python-3.6.2

# Configure the build w/ your installed libraries
./configure

# Install into /usr/local/bin/python3.6, don't overwrite global python bin
make altinstall
