Goal:
Install Python3.7 on the Raspberry Pi. Then install Numpy for Python3.7
Found this very useful Github Gist: https://gist.github.com/SeppPenner/6a5a30ebc8f79936fa136c524417761d
Ran the following code in the console on the Pi(took ~1hour):
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential tk-dev libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libreadline6-dev libdb5.3-dev libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev libbz2-dev libexpat1-dev liblzma-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev -y
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.0/Python-3.7.0.tar.xz
tar xf Python-3.7.0.tar.xz
cd Python-3.7.0
./configure
make -j 4
sudo make altinstall
cd ..
sudo rm -r Python-3.7.0
rm Python-3.7.0.tar.xz
sudo apt-get --purge remove build-essential tk-dev -y
sudo apt-get --purge remove libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev libreadline6-dev -y
sudo apt-get --purge remove libdb5.3-dev libgdbm-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev -y
sudo apt-get --purge remove libbz2-dev libexpat1-dev liblzma-dev zlib1g-dev libffi-dev -y
sudo apt-get autoremove -y
sudo apt-get clean
I then upgraded pip:
sudo python3.7 -m pi installl --upgrade pip
and finally installed Numpy for Python3.7 using pip:
sudo python3.7 -m pip install numpy
When trying to import numpy into python3.7 I got the (first) ImportError:
>>>import numpy as np
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libf77blas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I did install libf77blas.so.3 by typing:
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
But upon importing numpy I got another import error, this time numpy can't find /lib/arm-linux/gnuabihf/libm.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.27'
I was not able to find a way to install GLIBC_2.27
