I believe this is more an Ubuntu question than a Python one.

You mentioned you're using Ubuntu 12.04.  But the version of Python 3
in that Ubuntu is Python 3.1:

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python/python3

And your console shows that you're running 3.3.3.  So it's likely that
you are running a Python that did not come bundled with your Linux
distribution.

Therefore, you will probably want to switch back to using the standard
one that came with your distribution. Alternatively, you can build
numpy from source and install it that way.
