My main reason is that I'm running Debian Wheezy here (the current stable release of Debian), and Wheezy ships with Python 3.2. If I want to use anything newer than 3.2, I have to either hunt down a backported package, or build from source. And if I'm going to build from source (which, for me, is easier than digging through wheezy-backports anyway), I may as well build from Mercurial on the default branch rather than taking a specific version tarball. (For what it's worth, Debian Jessie - the next release - ships with 3.4, so on my Jessie boxes I don't bother building Python from source.)
