A simple way to migrate to Linux and get a recent version of Python by default would be to download a copy of Ubuntu Linux. You can burn it onto a CD, then pop it ino the cd drive and boot it on your Windows machine. It runs in a virtual machine, so you are assured that your Windows installation will never become corrupted by Linux. Or you can load it directly onto your hard drive in place of Windows. Python is loaded by default. Ubuntu is designed to ease your migration to Linux, You should be fairly comfortably up and running within two hours. I have it on my laptop, and it boots up in just over a minute.
