I know the OP solved their problem now, but for the record, you can also get
binaries of recent Pythons (and other packages) by using conda:
http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html#miniconda

This assumes you don't mind having a local install rather than a system install
of Python (something akin to a virtual environment).

Antoine.
