Well,
yes, you can always install new Python versions from source.
But it becomes difficult as soon as try to install e.g. ipython.
I was not able to make ipython use Python 3.3, it was only
working with Python 3.2.
So, yes, it is possible, but it can become very messy.

Correction, Python 3.3 is available in Ubuntu 12.04 (and any other
Linux version for that matter), it's just not available through apt-get.

Hello,
I just checked an Ubuntu 12.04 there is only Python 3.2.3 available.
This could be a reason to support it until the next Ubuntu LTS
version
is released, which is planned for 04-2014.
