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.
