How to install Python 3.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.4?

Hi there I have downloaded the mac installer here, http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1.2/ , & installed it. But when I run terminal & type python it says:

Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

What I want to know is, is it safe to run Update Shell Profile.command in the Python 3.1 folder ? or should I run python 3.1.2 separately ? If I should run python 3.1.2 separately, how do I do so ? also how do I start IDLE ?

Is there another python executable, perhaps python31?

You can also install other python versions via MacPorts if you need (although you'll still have to choose the right executable).

This should also be relevant: Multiple versions of Python on OS X Leopard
