I've used this method but the resulting deb package is not working in other machines with different python3 version. I've built it using python 3.7 and now the application has a lib/python3.7 after installation, and it's not working with python 3.8. Is there something I missed?

Debian packages are bound to a release, thus you missed you have to build this for every distro and release specifically. Using docker, this is reasonably easy to do with a bash for loop.
