I would am currently using python version 3.6.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 and need to use python version >= 3.6.1 to use PySlice_Unpack.

I have tried installing using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.6

The output from these commands is:

python3.6 is already the newest version (3.6.7-1~18.04).

So it seems like I already have python 3.6.7 installed. However when I run the commands python -V, python3 -V, or python3.6 -V the output is 

Python 3.6.0 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.

In /usr/bin/ I have config files for python2.7, python3.6, python3.6m, python3, and python3m. I've looked at the python3.6 and python3 config files and they both have VERSION="3.6". How can I switch to using python version 3.6.7 instead of 3.6.0?

If you need a different version of Python (or other versions of python packages than those included in the version of Ubuntu you are using), then you might want to try using VirtualEnv, like explained in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5507373/483566
