I'm writing a program in python, which requires the use of the Counter function, which is not supported by python 2.6.5. So I have been trying to find a way to update my python interpreter to the next version, but I haven't found anything for ubuntu 10.04. Could anyone tell me how I can update python 2.6.5 to python 2.7?

3*Or* you could use [this backport of `Counter`](http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576611-counter-class/). – Martijn Pieters Oct 28 '12 at 16:05

The procedure given here worked fine for me, and download the tarball from http://www.python.org/download/.

I think the [deadsnakes PPA](https://launchpad.net/~fkrull/+archive/deadsnakes) is probably a better option, especially if this question has to be asked at all. – Eryk Sun Oct 28 '12 at 16:13
