I have to update from Python 3.7 to 3.8, just like in Updating Python 3.7 to 3.8. In my case, it is to run HomeAssistant.

I understood that apt cannot find the package in the default repository.

However, I couldn't find how long does it take for the package to be available, so I could know if it is worth waiting. Where could I find this information?

Moreover, if the package is not available yet, wouldn't it be because the stability not optimal yet? Otherwise, what would be the difference between the manual installation and the future repository-base apt installation?

You'll need to wait for Bullseye to emerge as the stable version.

RaspiOS is based on DebIan. The current RaspiOS version is Buster. The next (in autumn 2021) will be RaspiOS Bullseye (the DebIan versions are named after Toy Story characters). You won't get a python version change except on a DebIan version change - because that's how DebIan likes to do it to remain a stable release.
