Excellent! After installing them and doing ./configure, I see this line: python3-3.7.3.p1: using system package; SPKG will not be installed So, now I can try whether it works (and of course if it doesn't I can still try sudo apt-get remove python3.7 and change the symlinks /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python3 to my distribution's standard python3.5).
