Getting python3.7 on my onion

Has anybody managed to get python3.7 running on their onion? It's not an official package so I'm going to have to compile it, eek! Any tips?

@rjtucke It looks like OpenWRT 19.07 uses Python 3.7

Instead of compiling Python from scratch, you can try either:

Using the regular Omega2 firmware, add the openwrt-19.07 package repo (https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.9/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages) to your opkg feeds, and try to install their python. More info on configuring opkg feeds on your device here.
Install the openwrt-19.07 (or newer) firmware to your Omega2. Just note that it won't have the customizations that the firmware from Onion has.

Let us know how it goes!
