If you wish to do it in a gui rather than at the commandline then
you could try the python package manager at :

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonpkgmgr/

You will need to download it from source.

In the Options Dialog, there is a dropdown list that allow you to 
easily change from one version of python to another.
