Absolutely, in fact you can install as many versions as you would like. Python 2 would remain the default as it was the first one installed and is called by entering 'python' on the command line, additional version are called using the version number, i.e. 'python3.4', 'python3.6', etc. You would also want to include the version in your shebang line as well. You might try 'apt-cache search python3' to see if you can install it that way (you might also have to install python3-dev as well).
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
