If you can wait until April 23rd then you will be able to use python 2.6
(as the default) or python 3.0.1 (as an option for your apps) on the
next release of Ubuntu (9.04).

Maybe Ubuntu will provide a package of python 3.0.1 in the 8.04
backports too, if there is enough demand for it.  And if not, somebody
can make a backport for Ubuntu 8.04 in a PPA on launchpad.
