I need Python 3.4 (latest) on CentOS 6 for development purposes (teaching programming).
Need advice for best method to do this. I am concerned about not breaking the internal plumbing of C6. I was thinking about installing it into /opt.
I noticed http://puias.math.ias.edu/data/puias/computational has 3.3 but I need 3.4 (asyncio module). Wondering if anyone has tried python3 from puias repo ? Does it break anything?
Also, found http://toomuchdata.com/2014/02/16/how-to-install-python-on-centos/
Any advice welcome.

python 3.3 is available in software collections [1]. Works quite well, is easy enough to use. If you absolutely must have python 3.4, I don't know.
asyncio for python33 is available on pypi [2]. Don't know if this is exactly compatible with 3.4 though.

Thank you Elias,
SCL worked perfectly. Installed Python 3.3 then installed the asyncio module from pypi. I was a little afraid about where the module would be installed but it was smart enough. I simply "scl enable python33 bash" *before* building/installing the module. Now I can show my students the very latest in asynchronous network programming.
Software Collections is a great idea. It really addresses and solves one of the biggest issues of rhel/centos.

Outside of SCL you can also look into the modules environment packages, which allow you to temporarily override the base system dynamically. We use this to maintain several version of libraries that do not come with the OS or are newer than those provided by the OS to build production software pipelines for various research tools.
It's a pretty nice system ;)
