How to install pip for Python 3 on Mac OS X?

OS X (Mavericks) has Python 2.7 stock installed. But I do all my own personal Python stuff with 3.3. I just flushed my 3.3.2 install and installed the new 3.3.3. So I need to install pyserial again. I can do it the way I've done it before, which is: Download pyserial from pypi untar pyserial.tgz cd pyserial python3 setup.py install But I'd like to do like the cool kids do, and just do something like pip3 install pyserial. But it's not clear how I get to that point. And just that point. Not interested (unless I have to be) in virtualenv yet.
UPDATE: This is no longer necessary as of Python3.4. pip3 is installed as part of the general Python3 installation. I ended up posting this same question on the python mailing list, and got the following answer: # download and install setuptools curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py python3 ez_setup.py # download and install pip curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py python3 get-pip.py Which solved my question perfectly. After adding the following for my own: cd /usr/local/bin ln -s ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/pip pip So that I could run pip directly, I was able to: # use pip to install pip install pyserial or: # Don't want it? pip uninstall pyserial
