Easy_install script for Python 3

I came across this nifty little piece of software: to install Python packages on Windows. However, this only supports till Python 2.7. Is there an equivalent tool for Python 3? Or is Python 3 still in beta?

This is supposed to be the new setuptools.

Edit:

Well most python packages come with setup.py which make use of distutils commands:

python setup.py install

This installs the packages to the python version used to run this command.

Also pip is usefull for installation:

so First you install the distribute.

• Download the source from the link i provided
• Unpack
• Run setup.py as shown above, with the python you wish to install it to. If you only have one python. plain python setup.py install will do.
• Then download pip from the link
• unpack
• run setup

Now you can install python packages found in pypi, with command :

pip install packagename
