Can anyone tell why Python 3.6 is not available in Zesty? Whenever I try to update it, the latest is 3.5.3. Is there any problem with 3.6, or they are waiting for 3.7?

Python 3.6 is available in Ubuntu 17.04, yet it's not the default, see the package python3.6.
Why not make it default then? See here for the full story.
When will it be default? The latter source says:
I plan for 18.04 LTS to ship only Python 3.6
If you want to install Python 3.6 in Zesty, do
sudo apt install python3.6
and run it via
python3.6

python3.6would be enough to run it, no need for the full path usually. – Byte Commander Aug 14 '17 at 12:42 -
1Thank you! How extremely intuitive it was. The batteries were included - but one has to remember to plug them in :) – ddbug Aug 14 '17 at 13:07
