Install python 3.6.4 on ubuntu 14.04
****
* For the Ubuntu 14.04 system, it is not easay to install python 3.6 and make pip3 work using the python3.6.4 path. If installed from the repository with ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6,
* there are always problems to use pip3 to call python 3.6.4. So this gist will help to solve such problems.
