Bookworm has already python 3.11 available, see
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3

The upcoming Ubuntu 223.04 has python 3.11 as default,
but it it is not clear to me if this restriction will be implemented.

There is a long discussion on
https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-668-marking-python-base-environments-as-externally-managed/10302
which is worth to read.
