The Ubuntu repository should have most versions you would want
if you decide you need a different version than the system default.
More of a Debian user myself so I would do something like the following
to see the different versions (just a guess since I am away from
my Debian machine).
 
`apt-cache search python | grep ^python`

I grep for ^python because there are probably a lot of python
package libraries that are unrelated to core python, but useful
for other applications.
