Installing Python on Ununtu 18.04

Asked by davidzaq1

I am taking a python class to learn programming and they have a video on intalling Python on Ubuntu.
I person has very good explanations for installing Python on Ubuntu but the problem I am having is that it is a .tar.gz file.
I thought we were not supposed to install anything on Ubuntu that is not in the software center.
It installing this tar safe for the computer even though it is from Python.org?
Is Python ok to run on a ubuntu system for learning?

Thank you
