Hi, all,
<div><br></div><div>I have built python3.3 from source. I want to use pip which has a dependency on setuptools. This&#39;s why I am here.</div><div><br></div><div>I have followed these steps here (<a href="http://packages.python.org/distribute/index.html">http://packages.python.org/distribute/index.html</a>) to initiate the distribute installation:</div>

<div><br></div><div>curl -O <a href="http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py">http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py</a></div><div>python3 distribute_setup.py</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Up to this point I got a lot byte-compiling exceptions. Here is a partial listing:</div>

<div><br></div><div>====================================</div><div><br></div><div><div>byte-compiling /Users/antkong/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/setuptools/command/alias.py to alias.cpython-33.pyc</div><div>  File &quot;/Users/antkong/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/setuptools/command/alias.py&quot;, line 12</div>

<div>SyntaxError: invalid syntax</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>====================================</div><div><br></div><div>It looks like distribute is shipping python 2 code.</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestion or idea?</div>
