How to update to the latest Python version in Ubuntu? I tried sudo apt-get install python3
but it says that the current (3.3.1) is already the latest.

1What Ubuntu version do you have? 12.04?– MiJynJun 20, 2013 at 3:46

Any reason why you need 3.3.2 instead of 3.3.1?– gertvdijkJul 22, 2013 at 11:03

Try adding this PPA (notice, I haven't tested it, but it looks fine): https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/deadsnakes
To do this, open a terminal, and run this:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes # Adds the PPA
sudo apt-get update # Updates the lists
And then run the system updates (I would recommend this over sudo apt-get install python3
because other packages may need to be updated for it to work fine):
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # dist-upgrade might be needed if python3
# needs to install or remove packages
# for it to work
Ubuntu 13.04 comes with pre-loaded python3 (3.3.2). So you may already have python3 (3.3.2) installed. try python3
in terminal instead of just python

It's 3.3.1 (with some backports from 3.3.2), but yeah, 3.3.x is already present. Jul 22, 2013 at 11:02
