Here is a link to Python installation on Linux systems.
http://docs.python.org/3.3/using/unix.html#getting-and-installing-the-latest-version-of-python
This is for version 3.3 which is the latest non-beta version but if you have a different version you can find installation instructions by changing the version number in the top-left corner
