Thanks a ton. I wasted so much time looking for this. This process should be easier though. Any good libraries or best practices for installing python on servers?

I think installing it with apt install python3
should be a proper way to do as to install the base python, unless you want to customize python version for specific app.
In that case, I prefer to dockerize the app and deploy it with Docker.
Thanks a lot, this was also for me very helpfull.
I have a Ubuntu 16.04 server instalation with python 3.5.2. included but not pip.
Installed pip with apt install pip3. I got an old 8. version. Installing packages gave errors. Trying to update pip broke pip.
Now installed python3.8 and pip3.8 with your script. Everything works fine !
Thank you so much

I gave up, have to switch to Ubuntu Bionic or Focal.
install pip for the specific version
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3.8
