Install Python 3.2 on Ubuntu 11.04

Ubuntu comes with Python 2.7, but I want to try out Python 3.2.x. After some google searches, I cannot just remove Python 2.7 and install 3.2.x, as Ubuntu's other modules requires 2.7


But, you can have Python 3.2.x coexist with Python  2.7. This is how:

Launch Ubuntu Software Center, then search Python 3.2. Select Python 3.2 and install

After that, you can run Python 3.2 in terminal like this

newgear@ubuntu:~$ python3.2
