Well actually, I'm not even sure what "Ubuntu 12" is.  Is that 12.04 or 12.10?
My guess is 12.04 LTS, but it's just a guess. ;)

In any case, a version of Python 3 has been available in Ubuntu since at least
2010:

% rmadison python3
   python3 | 3.1.2-0ubuntu1 |         lucid | all
   python3 | 3.2.3-0ubuntu1 |       precise | all
   python3 | 3.2.3-0ubuntu1.2 | precise-updates | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc
   python3 | 3.2.3-5ubuntu1 |       quantal | all
   python3 | 3.2.3-5ubuntu1.2 | quantal-updates | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc
   python3 | 3.3.1-0ubuntu1 |        raring | amd64, armhf, i386, powerpc
   python3 | 3.3.2-14ubuntu1 |         saucy | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc
   python3 | 3.3.2-14ubuntu1 |        trusty | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc

Cheers,
