You could just add that repository but...<br>
The add-apt-repository and PPAs are an Ubuntu thing, and while
Ubuntu is based off of Debian there are quite a few things that get
changed along the way, so you can't just use package repositories
from one on the other whenever you want, especially with things like
python that if you break it can really mess up stuff in your
system. The nasty part is that it might seem to work fine right
away, but you've set yourself up for a problem that comes later on
because the guy making the PPA uses some strange version scheme that
will keep any other version from loading without specifically
hammering the new one in there, and that can keep everything else
from being able to upgrade.<br>
<br>
Since what you are looking for is already packages standard for the
system and you just need a newer version; you're probably better off
switching to Raspbian's equivalent of testing or unstable, upgrading
your python packages to the version you need and then switching back
to stable so you don't accidentally upgrade your whole system.<br>

Cross compiling is not for the faint of heart and unless

patch, then I would advise against it.<br>

<div>A PPA is an
individual's
repository. They're
used to dristribute more
up-to-date versions of
software than the distro
maintainer. A good
example of a PPA is
postgresql. They test
their new builds on
Ubuntu, but Ubuntu only
tests one of their
builds every 6 months.
By adding the Postgresql
PPA, you can get the
most up-to-date stuff in
a more timely fashion.<br>
<br>
</div>
Another good use for a PPA
is for non x86-64
architectures (which the
raspberry pi is). Adding
a PPA is the same
operation as adding a
repository.
apt-add-repository is the
command for Ubuntu I
believe.<br>
<br>
</div>
I say this because I've
attempted to compile things
on a Pi 2, and it's an
overnight wait.<br>

What load are you
running on your
Pi?<br>
<br>
I have the B and
it comes loaded
with 2.7.3, which
is, for all
practical purposes
the same, I would
think.<br>
<br>
This link
addresses the
issue in the
Ubuntu environment
and may be
informative.<br>
<br>
if you are running
the early Pi,
perhaps yo might
want to consider
getting a second
SD chip and
experimenting with
a newer version of
Raspbian, or at
least give
yourself a spare
load that you can
mess up without
grief.
