On most Debian-based distros, you can simply 'apt-get install
python3', and you'll get some 3.x version (in Debian Squeeze, that's
3.1, Debian Wheezy packages 3.2; Ubuntu since Raring gives you 3.3).
Whether or not you actually have it - or python2 for that matter -
installed depends on your choices, anything that depends on it will
pull it in or you can grab it manually.

Arch Linux ships 3.3.3 under the name "python", and 2.7.6 under the
name "python2" - an inversion of the Debian practice. Other distros
are looking toward shifting, too.

I'd guess that all mainstream distributions carry both branches. It's
just a question of what people get when they ask for "Python" in the
most normal way to do that.
