Yes that worked for me, I made sure these packages are installed on my Centos 7:
sudo yum install -y zlib-devel bzip2-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel sqlite-devel readline-devel tk-devel gdbm-devel db4-devel libpcap-devel xz-devel expat-devel libffi-dev gcc gcc-c++ zlib libffi-devel
Then reinstalled my python 3.8.1:
wget http://python.org/ftp/python/3.6.8/Python-3.6.8.tar.xz
tar xf Python-3.6.8.tar.xz
cd Python-3.6.8
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib"
make && make altinstall
