How do I setup Python 2 on my LAMP?

Hey, I'm very new to setting up servers. Recently successfully setup a LAMP on Linode and got PHP and MySQL working in Ubuntu 15.04. Trying to find a relevant guide about how to setup Python but can't seem to find anything. How would I go about this? Do I first need to install a package manager? Or does the standard Python install come with the basic packages?

Any help would be really appreciated,

Thanks!
