As far I understand it, distribute_setup.py parses the setup.py script in the python package and ensure everything is compatible with Python3 (correct me if I’m wrong Python community 🙂ĭownload and run the script as follows, you’ll need to use sudo on mac, as the script will need privs to write into /Library dir To work with pip3 we need to first install distribute_setup.py.

Something that is not at all obvious to the uninitiated is that to use pip with Python3, you need to compile run the various install scripts against Python3, otherwise everything just installs in the Python 2.7 directory (this is the voice of bitter experience speaking). Pip can be used to install packages into the Python framework so they can be used in your programs.

Like all good languages Python has a package manager.
