Are you sure it does? The current Debian stable is Wheezy, which comes
with a package 'python3' in the repository, which will install 3.2.3.
(The previous Debian stable, Squeeze, has 3.1.3 under the same name.)
You may need to change your shebang, but that's all you'd need to do.
Or are you unable to install new packages? If so, I strongly recommend
getting Python 3 added, as it's going to spare you a lot of Unicode
headaches.

Mind you, I compile my own Py3 for Wheezy, since I like to be on the
bleeding edge. But that's not for everyone. :)
