I've download python3.8 following the instructions at Developing With Python 3.8 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Running python3.8 in the terminal works fine.
The thing is, when I try to make a channel that uses python3.8 on conda it doesn't find it. That is, running
conda create --name py38 python=3.8
returns:
PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:
