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:
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 with Python3.4. It installs pip3 as part of the stock install.
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
