How to install Python3.3.5 on Ubuntu Server 12.10?

Question

I need Python 3.3.5 on Ubuntu Server 12.10.

I want to run apt-get install python3 but I am not sure this will lead to Python3.3.5 version installation.

In other words: how can I install the exact Python version I need through the command line ?

If you want to be absolutely sure that you are installing python3.3.5 then

Download python3.3.5 source tarball to ~/Downloads Folder
make sure you have already removed python3 from the system
```
sudo apt-get purge python3
```
Change directory to Downloads
```
cd ~/Downloads
```
Untar the file
```
tar -xvf Python-3.3.5.tgz
```
Change directory to Python-3.3.5
```
cd Python-3.3.5
```
run install-sh as root
```
sudo ./install-sh
```

This should do the job, hope it works
