How to install python3.7-dev on Ubuntu 20.04?
I need to use Python3.7 for a project, but Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have python3.7-dev in the apt repositories. I've installed Python3.7 from a tarball, but it doesn't install the headers. I noticed in the build directory that libpython3.7m.a exists, but I'm looking for libpython3.7.so. I don't see any options to build shared versus static library, and I don't where that file goes, I was hoping the build script would take care of that.
Does anyone know the recommended way to install python headers from older versions?

sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev
You can install it for any version of python. by sudo apt-get install python3.x-dev

maybe you can use libpython3.7m-pic.a instead, which acts like libpython3.7.so to some extent
