activated a venv
trying to install python3.12 into it

1. download of python3.12 (blahblahblahetc).deb will not install
2. download of python3.12.tar.xz similarly will not install

(venv2) memyself@devuanbigbox:~$ pip install
/home/memyself/Downloads/Python-3.12.4.tar.xz
Processing ./Downloads/Python-3.12.4.tar.xz
ERROR: file:///home/memyself/Downloads/Python-3.12.4.tar.xz does not appear
to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

seems that I need a different version (installable as it were) of
python3.12
or my approach is all wrong!

Please advise

TIA
