Use the Deadsnakes PPA, which includes a range of Python versions packaged for a range of Ubuntu versions, including 3.2 for raring.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.2
Download and compile Python (with the terminal):
wget http://python.org/ftp/python/3.3.0/Python-3.3.0.tar.bz2
tar jxf ./Python-3.3.0.tar.bz2
cd ./Python-3.3.0
./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.3
make && sudo make install
