Every stable Debian release only contains one Python version, normally the 
newest one at the time when the release was made. Testing and 
unstable can contain two versions during the transition from the older one 
to the next one.

Not sure what do you mean by venv but for local use you aren't required to 
use Python interpreters from the distribution and can e.g. use pyenv to 
install any other one.

Simply providing a Python interpreter in Debian is not generally useful, 
and integrating it with the packaged modules is a lot of work which is 
also impossible for older Python versions. So no. You can package it 
locally if you want and if you don't expect it to work with any packaged 
modules.
