How do I use pip 3 with Python 3.4?

by

Instead of installing python3-pip via apt-get or whatever (because the version in the repo is too old), download get-pip.py, switch to the folder where you saved it, and run

sudo python3 get-pip.py

and it will install the latest version of pip for you. It may create a symlink to pip3, it may not, I don’t remember.

You can then run

sudo pip install virtualenv

then use it to create your virtualenv, activate it, then use the pip installed inside it to get Django.

NOTE:

You can use the same copy of get-pip.py to install pip for Python 2. If you want to do that, however, I’d advise you to run

sudo python get-pip.py

before you run

sudo python3 get-pip.py

Whichever one you install last will take the pip filename. I don’t know if Python 2 installs a command called pip2 (I know upgrading pip via pip does), but after you run the Python 2 install, run

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pip2.7 /usr/local/bin/pip2

to create a pip2 alias. You can then run the Python 3 install, which will overwrite /usr/local/bin/pip, then run

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pip3.4 /usr/local/bin/pip3

to create a pip3 command as well (if you get an error that the file already exists, then you’re good to go). Now, instead of running pip when installing to your system site-packages and not knowing exactly which version you’re calling, you can just use pip2 and pip3 to explicitly state the version you want.
