With that said, I've personally packaged a simple backport of Python 3.6 (currently 3.6.2) for Debian stretch. There are pre-built Debian packages available in the releases tab, and a one-liner in the README for how to build them yourself: https://github.com/chriskuehl/python3.6-debian-stretch
You can install these alongside the regular python3.5 installation (it doesn't replace it).
