Python 3 is outdated in repo

I have compiled Python3.7 latest source (at time of writing) via

[c]tazpkg install libffi-devel zlib-dev linux-api-headers gcc make
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.0/Python-3.7.0.tgz
tar -xf Python-3.7.0.tgz
cd Python-3.7.0
./configure --enable-optimizations
make
sudo make install[/c]
Please add this to the repo, since python 3.4 (py3k package) is pretty old and many improvements were made in 3.5 and 3.6 that are sorely missed

A person will probably want to install openssl before building...
