Correction: the default Python 2 is 2.7.3. The default Python 3 is
3.2.3.

Since Python 2 and Python 3 are distinct run-time systems, there's no
single “default Python” in Debian Wheezy.

Correct. If you have a program needing Python 3, you should ignore the
Python 2 system and only look at Python 3.

Yes.
