python get-pip.py return invalid syntax form shutil.py
Question: Ok I need help here.

I have windows 7, and i'm stuck with Python 3.3 because my company sucks I
have been trying to install pip via

> python get-pip.py

I am using the get-pip.py from <https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py> which is
the re-direct from the pip python page.

When I go to the command prompt to install this, I keep getting the same error
message

Traceback (most recent call last): File "get-pip.py", line 25, in(module)
import shutil File "C:\Python33\Lib\shutil.py", line 85 def copyfile(src, dst,
*, follow_symlinks(True): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have checked shutil against the source code and my code is not different.
Can someone please help here, I can't find anything that will make this issue
go away.


Answer: An alternate way: Try this in powershell:

    
    
    > (Invoke-WebRequest https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py).Content | python -
    

Source: <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/3.3#windows-7-or-graphical-
install>

Then you can do this: `easy_install pip3`
