Here's my one-liner (well, a 3-liner) for installing Python 3.7 on CentOS7

sudo su
yum install -y wget gcc openssl-devel bzip2-devel libffi-devel zlib-devel xz-devel ; cd /usr/src; wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.0/Python-3.7.0.tgz ; tar xzf Python-3.7.0.tgz ; cd Python-3.7.0 ; ./configure --enable-optimizations ; make altinstall ; rm -rf /usr/bin/python3 ; ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/python3 ; python3 -V
