unable to use pip with Python 3.2 using distribute

Question

After installing python3.2 from src, I tried running:

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
sudo python3.2 distribute_setup.py
sudo python3.2 -m easy_install pip
sudo python3.2 -m pip lxml

This gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/runpy.py", line 140, in _run_module_as_main
    mod_name, loader, code, fname = _get_module_details(mod_name)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/runpy.py", line 110, in _get_module_details
    return _get_module_details(pkg_main_name)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/runpy.py", line 102, in _get_module_details
    loader = get_loader(mod_name)

    return find_loader(fullname)

    __import__(pkg)

    print dist
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Anyone able to get this working?

Thanks,

Answer 1

print dist is invalid in Python3. It should be print(dist).

However, with this error it is very likely that pip is not compatible with Python3. According to http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip it also does not support Python3.

Answer 2

There is version of pip working with Python 3.
See my answer to Python 3, easy_install, pip and pypi question.
