I've tried to install python3.10 alongside with native python3.11, on Ubuntu 23.04, but looks like it's not available.

I've tried to use deadsnakes, but they don't have the Release file for current Ubuntu version. Executing sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa confirms that.

Is it possible to install python3.10 on Ubuntu 23.04?

Don't change the default python version. You might end up destroying Ubuntu. Instead, use Miniconda/Anaconda to create a virtual environment.

Same issue here. Real bummer. I now have python3.9 and 3.11 and Ubuntu 23.04, and a lot of projects on python3.10.

Fixed with compiling python from source + adding the usr/local/bin to PATH and updating alternatives for python.

Deadsnakes doesn't offer Python 3.10 for Ubuntu 23.04, but you should be able to get Python 3.11 if that works. If this is for something that is explicitly looking for Python 3.10, yes, you'll have to compile from source. Here's a nice article explaining how to do that for anyone who stumbles across this: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-python-on-ubuntu-linux-system/?expand_article=1

try this instead of deadsnakes:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/python
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install python3.10

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
