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).

Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Simon
