Would love to know this myself.

I'm in process of moving my company's main web app to python 3, and standardized on 3.5 to match Debian 9.

But python 3.6 has so many cpu & memory improvements (not to mention things like f'' strings), seriously considering installing custom copy of 3.6... though not sure if I want the burden of maintaining my own copy of everything that will affect.

Then again... "Debian stable" being rock solid stable is why I stick with it for production; if their caution in this is the price I pay, it's worth it.

I'm not sure how tricky it'd be to maintain your own repo just for Python 3.6. It may be worth it.
