How to use pip with Python 3.x alongside Python 2.x

The approach you should take is to install pip for Python 3.2.

You do this in the following way:

$ curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python3.2 get-pip.py

Then, you can install things for Python 3.2 with pip-3.2, and install things for Python 2-7 with pip-2.7. The pip command will end up pointing to one of these, but I’m not sure which, so you will have to check.
