I also experienced this when testing with Python 3.3 for the first time (Python 3.3.0a4).

[cjerdonek]

This is the line that doesn't seem to be working the same with my install of Python 3.3. In my MacPorts Python 3.2 install, that line installs easy_install into the bin folder.

This seems to be fixed in the latest version of the development branch, though I couldn't find a reference in the past issues to where it was fixed. So I think this can be closed.

Yeah, this was fixed in c2dd64 - not sure how I forgot to close this.

This appears to still exist in 105ed24.

System:

• OS X 10.8.1
• virtualenv 105ed24 installed with System Python (2.7.2)
• Python 3.3.0rc1 from Python.org installer

The virtualenv is created with 3.3.0rc1, using:

virtualenv ~/env/py33 -p /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/python3

Which gives the error described above.

pip 1.2 + Python 3.3.0rc1 (installed from python.org website) + virtualenv 1.8 doesn't work for me on Mac OS X 10.8.1 - error message is the same

The pip 1.2 and python 3.30rc1 is a separate issue from the patch to this one and tracked in Issue #322
