Python 3.13 + Ubuntu 24.04: Needs deadsnakes PPA; Default Is Python 3.12

Python 3.13 + Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) ships Python 3.12 by default. Python 3.13 is not in the main Ubuntu repository. Install via deadsnakes PPA. For most projects, Python 3.12 (the default) is appropriate — upgrade to 3.13 only if specific 3.13 features are required.

Workarounds & Fixes

deadsnakes: `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa && sudo apt install python3.13 python3.13-venv`
pyenv: `pyenv install 3.13` for per-project version management
