## Assumption: That you have access to the rhel-6-server-rpms repository either via RH subscription or via Red Hat satellite or via DVD
yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools"
yum install -y zlib-devel
## download the source
wget --no-check-certificate https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.8/Python-3.6.8.tar.xz
## extract the source and change to the directory
tar xvf Python-3.6.8.tar.xz
cd Python-3.6.8
## assuming we want to install into /opt/local
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-ensurepip-install
## install files are in /opt/local/bin
[root@rhel6 ~]# ls -lah /opt/local/bin/

## Verify
[root@rhel6 ~]# which python3

[root@rhel6 ~]# which pip3
/usr/bin/pip3
[root@rhel6 ~]# python3 -V
Python 3.6.8
[root@rhel6 ~]# pip3 -V
