So long as it's just the binaries from the python3.6 source package, they
should install in parallel and cause no trouble (it would be like installing
the python3.7 packages in Buster today, which would go in parallel to 3.6).

I think rebuilding python3-stdlib-extensions would be OK too if done with
enough care; it would need persuading to build packages including libraries
for both 3.5 and 3.6. But yes, that's more risky as it means replacing Stretch
packages rather than just adding new ones.
