[Distutils] distribute does not install with python3 on Ubuntu machine

If I run (on an Ubuntu machine) the command: sudo pip install --upgrade distribute Everything goes well and the package installs. But if I run the same with Python3 with: sudo pip-3.2 install --upgrade distribute I get this: "File "setuptools/dist.py", line 103 except ValueError, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax" I think the problem is that with someone recently forgot to put the parentheses (i.e. "except ValueError, e:" should be "except (ValueError, e):") and therefore this does not work anymore with python3. It should be easy to fix. Furthermore, this problem seems to be widespread within the package. Giulio
