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.
