The current version of python I've now which is installed by default with Ubuntu is 2.7rc1 ,
Is it possible to update it officially to the latest version (3.7.1) ?

Thank You .

Outdated:

Python 3.7.1 is still in maintenance version. It is only available for download to Windows and macOS users. Once the stable version is released, then it is made available in Linux repositories. For Windows and Mac users visit this python.org URL.

Currently (2022):

For Linux users: you can download the 3.11.0 version from the terminal

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python3.11

Check the most recent Python version available here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
