I had the same problem while trying to install pylab, and I have found this link

So what I have done to install pylab within Python 3 is:

python3 -m pip install SomePackage

It has worked properly, and as you can see in the link you can do this for every Python version you have, so I guess this solves your problem.

Ubuntu 12 10  and Fedora 13  have a package called python3-pip which will install pip-3 2  or pip-3 3  pip-3 4 or pip3 for newer versions  without needing this jumping through hoops     I came across this and fixed this without needing the likes of wget or virtualenvs  assuming Ubuntu 12 04     Install package python3-setuptools  run sudo aptitude install python3-setuptools  this will give you the command easy install3  Install pip using Python 3 s setuptools  run sudo easy install3 pip  this will give you the command pip-3 2 like kev s solution  Install your PyPI packages  run sudo pip-3 2 install  lt package gt   installing python packages into your base system requires root  of course       Profit

You can alternatively just run pip3 install packagename instead of pip

Firstly  you need to install pip for the Python 3 installation that you want  Then you run that pip to install packages for that Python version   Since you have both pip and python 3 in  usr bin  I assume they are both installed with a package manager of some sort  That package manager should also have a Python 3 pip  That s the one you should install   Felix  recommendation of virtualenv is a good one  If you are only testing  or you are doing development  then you shouldn t install the package in the system python  Using virtualenv  or even building your own Pythons for development  is better in those cases   But if you actually do want to install this package in the system python  installing pip for Python 3 is the way to go

Old question  but none of the answers satisfies me   One of my systems is running Ubuntu 12 04 LTS and for some reason there s no package python3-pip or python-pip for Python 3   So here is what I ve done  all commands were executed as root     Install setuptools for Python3 in case you haven t   apt-get install python3-setuptools   or  aptitude install python3-setuptools  With Python 2 4  you can invoke easy install with specific Python version by using python -m easy install   So pip for Python 3 could be installed by   python3 -m easy install pip  That s it  you got pip for Python 3   Now just invoke pip with the specific version of Python to install package for Python 3   For example  with Python 3 2 installed on my system  I used   pip-3 2 install  package

Although the question relates to Ubuntu  let me contribute by saying that I m on Mac and my python command defaults to Python 2 7 5  I have Python 3 as well  accessible via python3  so knowing the pip package origin  I just downloaded it and issued sudo python3 setup py install against it and  surely enough  only Python 3 has now this module inside its site packages  Hope this helps a wandering Mac-stranger

Short Answer  sudo apt-get install python3-pip sudo pip3 install MODULE NAME   Source  Shashank Bharadwaj s comment  Long Answer  The short answer applies only on newer systems  On some versions of Ubuntu the command is pip-3 2   sudo pip-3 2 install MODULE NAME   If it doesn t work  this method should work for any Linux distro and supported version    sudo apt-get install curl curl https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   sudo python3 sudo pip3 install MODULE NAME   If you don t have curl  use wget  If you don t have sudo  switch to root  If pip3 symlink does not exists  check for something like pip-3 X  Much python packages require also the dev package  so install it too   sudo apt-get install python3-dev   Sources  python installing packages with pip Pip latest install   Check also Tobu s answer if you want an even more upgraded version of Python   I want to add that using a virtual environment is usually the preferred way to develop a python application  so  felixyan answer is probably the best in an ideal world  But if you really want to install that package globally  or if need to test   use it frequently without activating a virtual environment  I suppose installing it as a global package is the way to go
