title: Python 3 setuptools on mac
body: <p>I've installed Python 3.2 on my Mac, and I want to install some packages using setuptool's <code>easy_install</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Alas, the only version of easy_install I have are (using command-line autocomplete):</p>
  
  <pre><code>easy_install      easy_install-2.5  easy_install-2.6
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I install packages for Python 3.2?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Addendum</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've followed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/434217/thomas-k">Thomas K</a>'s advice:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
  $ python distribute_setup.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But no luck, <code>easy_install</code> still installs <code>Python 2.6</code> packages:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ easy_install beautifulsoup
  Searching for beautifulsoup
  Best match: BeautifulSoup 3.2.0
  Processing BeautifulSoup-3.2.0-py2.6.egg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I force easy_install to retrieve <code>Python 3.2</code> packages instead?</p>
