I just last night installed 3.10.9 on Debian Buster following the 
directions at

https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-python-latest-debian/

I only changed the file name of the Python tarball. However, if you want 
to use tkinter, the Tk development libraries need to be on your machine 
before you run ./configure.  The package name may change, but for me it was

sudo apt-get install tk-dev

(see 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5459444/tkinter-python-may-not-be-configured-for-tk)

It does not replace the Debian Python3 link to 3.7.3 so it should not 
interfere with normal Debian system services.

(The highest Debian-supported version of Python on Buster is still 3.7+).
