Thanks!
Have checked, and it is not mentioned in Fedora's dnf (yum/rpm) list of 
packages. These days, there seems to be such an abundance of package 
managers/downloaders, one wonders if they are not contributing to the 
very problem they seek to solve?


To the OP:
My Fedora31 (so, not the latest/32 release) is offering Python 3.7.n as 
its 'latest'. (Further) Recommend following Linux Mint's 'latest', 
unless there is something compelling/required from v3.8.
Check here: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html
