What are my options for installing Python alpha & beta releases with or alongside conda?

Closely related to Can I conda install an alpha or beta version of Python? but that question is about a specific version in conda-forge. If a Python release (e.g. 3.10.0b1) is available for download via https://www.python.org/download/pre-releases/ for example, but not in the anaconda or any conda channel yet, what are my best bets for using it?

  • Open an issue at conda-forge
  • Is there some generic conda install script to run the python installer inside an environment?
  • Something else

Particularly with alpha/beta releases of Python, I'd like the protection of a conda environment for my installation. I'm worried about using the standard Python installer now as it might not play nicely, but maybe there are some mitigation measures I can take?
