How do you install Python 3.3.2

[demonic_crow]

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I'm needing to install Python 3.3.2 on my laptop for a class. I went to python.org and downloaded the tarbell. When I run ./configure everything seem to be fine. After I type make I run into a problem.

you can download these deb packages (ready to use) into an empty folder, from : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.3

then from that folder, run: sudo dpkg -i thepackageyouneed2install

I downloaded all the deb packages. I ran through each one and none of them would installed.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I'm needing to install Python 3.3.2 on my laptop for a class.

Python 3.3.2? For a class? Really? Why?

I would understand "You need python3 for this" or maybe "you need python 3.3 for this", but "python 3.3.2" .... ?
