I don't know about grabbing from testing, because that's fraught with peril... but there's a pretty easy way to get a newer Python: build from source. Basically, the standard incantation: $ sudo apt-get build-dep python3 $ hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython $ cd cpython $ ./configure && make && sudo make install (I like to separate the last three steps, but putting them together works too.) Alternatively, you could just run Debian Jessie. I have a few Jessie systems on the network, with a Python 3.4 IIRC, and there've been no stability problems lately. Both options are pretty easy.
