Python 3

I have two questions

1) how can i can update python 3.7.4 to the latest version
Houdini 18.5.596 installed python 3 as far as i can tell, i previously had only 2.7 installed on my pc. Does this mean python 3 is available only for Houdini? How can i update

2) How can i pip install packages to that directory? This has been a problem before and i had to change pip to install by default inside the houdini python directory. Before that i would copy the packages from the default directory in C:/Python27 to the Houdini one. Is this really that complicated or am i doing something wrong?

ideally i would like to have one place to store packages outside Houdini - the default directory that gets created when installing python on your computer. Just install python 3, pip install anything i need and have houdini use those.

ok so as i understand the version of Houdini i have ships with python 3.7.4 compatibility. So i followed this very helpful tutorial from entagma and all is well.

Still i dont know if you can update your python

but my other questions were answered in the tutorial. Thanks Entagma!
