Question

I want to install pip. It should support Python 3, but it requires setuptools, which is available only for Python 2.

How can I install pip with Python 3?

Answer 1

If you use several different versions of python try using virtualenv http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#installation

With the advantage of pip for each local environment.

Then install a local environment in the current directory by:

virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.3 ENV --verbose

Note that you specify the path to a python binary you have installed on your system.

Then there are now an local pythonenvironment in that folder. ./ENV

Now there should be ./ENV/pip-3.3

use ./ENV/pip-3.3 freeze to list the local installed libraries.

use ./ENV/pip-3.3 install packagename to install at the local environment.

use ./ENV/python3.3 pythonfile.py to run your python script.
