How to install pip with Python 3?

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

This is what I did on OS X Mavericks to get this to work.

Firstly, have brew installed

Install python 3.4

brew install python3

Then I get the latest version of distribute:

wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.7.3.zip#md5=c6c59594a7b180af57af8a0cc0cf5b4a

unzip distribute-0.7.3.zip
cd distribute-0.7.3
sudo setup.py install
sudo easy_install-3.4 pip
sudo pip3.4 install virtualenv
sudo pip3.4 install virtualenvwrapper

mkvirtualenv py3 

python --version
Python 3.4.1

I hope this helps.
