Hi Steven,

I don't think there is any simple solution for you within the debian ecosystem.
As a developper, I faced the same issue and ended in installing `conda` to
have a quick access to the various python versions (then I create
some venv from the conda environments).

I doubt our use-case is common enough to justify having multiple python (again) in Debian.

Cheers,

Jerome

PS: venv are about 10x smaller than conda environments !
