Python, Ubuntu: Install PyPi package for a specific Python version

I've installed Python 3.3 alongside Python 2.75 on my Ubuntu machine. The problem is that easy_install gets packages for the default, 2.75 version only, e.g:

easy_install pymongo

$ python
Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr 19 2013, 18:28:01) 
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pymongo
>>>

But:

$ python3.3
Python 3.3.1 (default, Apr 17 2013, 22:30:32) 
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pymongo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named 'pymongo'

How can I install PyPi packages for the Python 3.3 installation?

Solution

  • You need easy_install3. In apt-get you get it by

    apt-get install python3-setuptools
