How do I install Python3.7 on Ubuntu 16?

I tried this approach but got:

add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
Error processing line 1 of /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/distutils-precedence.pth:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site.py", line 173, in addpackage
      exec(line)
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/_distutils_hack/__init__.py", line 194
      f'spec_for_{name}',
                       ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

E: Unable to locate package python3.7
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'python3.7'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'python3.7'

It looks like some package is running a Python3.6 script in Python3.5. Is this related to the problem?

    To install Python 3.7 on Ubuntu using the Deadsnakes PPA, follow these steps:

    • If you don’t have software-properties-common installed on your system, you can install it with the following command:

      sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

    • The Deadsnakes PPA provides various versions of Python that are not available in the default repositories. You can add it to your system using these commands:

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update

    • Now that the Deadsnakes PPA is added, you can proceed to install Python 3.7:

      sudo apt-get install python3.7

    • To confirm that Python 3.7 has been successfully installed, run the following command:

      python3.7 -V
