Its been a while since I was enthusiastically putting the latest python release onto a rpi, but when I did there was nothing to stop me having several python versions running on top of the version that came with the rpi os release. Have you tried simply installing a later version of python onto your rpi? I don't remember the procedure I used but my quick google of "install an updated python version onto a rpi" gave a lot of responses.
