A lot of developers want to go to 3.11 because of the speed improvements, but most distros never have the latest Python version.
Using the deadsnakes third party repo is the easiest way aside from compiling it yourself (which is safer and recommended):
Step 1 - Add the repo
apt-add-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
If you get an error about requests then install it:........
pip3 install requests
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/.local/bin/pip3", line 7, in
from pip._internal.cli.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip._internal'
As a quick and temp fix call the OS installed python and not the user .local/bin installed pip3
/usr/bin/pip3 install requests
Collecting requests

In this case I am executing using "python3" but what you find in cases like this can be surprising.
The most common issues are that someone has a module for python 2 "pip" and doesn't realize they need "pip3" to install it for python3, but this is not one of those cases.

#install the EPEL repo
python-pip install obfsproxy
python-pip install obfsproxy
-bash: python-pip: command not found
pip install obfsproxy

I've only ever seen this in Ubuntu for some reason and it is because of the /etc/nsswitch.conf settings.
So the issue is that if the hostname's reverse DNS cannot be found that you need to go back to DNS which was not the default in this nsswitch.conf file for some strange reason.
Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and replace your "hosts" line with this:
#hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns........
Icouldn't understand why on one system it took a few minutes to get the SSHlogin prompt when connecting to other systems. The other systems all had the UseDNS parameter set to no, which almost always resolves the login prompt delay.
The reason is Ubuntu and perhaps Debian and other distributions /etc/nsswitch.conf file
Edit yours to have the "hosts" line like so (notice that files and dns are the primary resolution choice........
