Hey, I've done this before. It wasn't until after I went through that process that I learned about the Deadsnakes PPA.

You can add this PPA (personal package archive) to your Ubuntu install. Then you can use apt to do the install of the newer version.

Just another alternative method, and potentially easier/faster.

Yes! I used to use deadsnakes before as well. This is just my flow that I enjoy doing the most and wanted to share. The deadsnakes flow is less steps and you get the benefit of updates. So it's probably even better for most people.

I just like the flow where I know which version I'm on, and exactly the steps I took to get there. =D
