Did not test, but this is the direction I would take:
* Download Python sources
* Open Terminal
* Run the following commands in the Terminal window
  - sudo apt-get build-dep python
  - tar -xjf Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2
  - cd Python-2.7.3
  - ./configure --prefix=/opt --enable-unicode=ucs2 && make
  - sudo make install
* Now you should have /opt/bin/python with ucs2
