You mean the IPython notebook? Yep!

The latest stable - currently, that's 3.5.

I'l let someone else answer that.

You should be able to simply "apt-get install python3" and get
whichever release your Ubuntu is shipping. It might be 3.4 or 3.3, but
it's unlikely to be older than that.

Debugging Python code is generally easy enough without an IDE; any
time something goes wrong, you get an exception with a very pretty
traceback. That's usually enough on its own. A little bit of editor
integration can help you jump to the lines mentioned, in the same way
that you might get that with C compiler errors; that's all I've ever
needed.
