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)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/pkgutil.py", line 453, in get_loader
    return find_loader(fullname)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/pkgutil.py", line 463, in find_loader
    for importer in iter_importers(fullname):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/pkgutil.py", line 419, in iter_importers
    __import__(pkg)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/site-packages/pip-0.8.2-py3.2.egg/pip/__init__.py", line 56
    print dist
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Anyone able to get this working?

Thanks,

Matt

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

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.

Thanks for the answer ThiefMaster, my apologies for the dumb question.

Howdy. Your answer appears to be out of date. Pip now does support Python3.
