Installing urllib3 for a non-standard Python version
<p>The server I'm coding on has a Python 2.4 binary available in <code>/usr/bin/</code> and a Python 3.0 binary available in <code>$HOME/bin/</code>. I need to install <code>urllib3</code> for use with Python 3, but <code>easy_install</code> of course uses the python available system-wide. <code>easy_install</code> installed <code>urllib3</code> just fine for Python 2.4. I tried to run it with Python 3 but it complains about missing modules:</p>

<pre><code>$ ~/bin/python3.0 /usr/bin/easy_install --prefix=/home/web/local urllib3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/easy_install", line 5, in &lt;module&gt;
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
</code></pre>

<p>How might I work around this? Note that I did install <code>pip</code> with <code>easy_install</code> but <code>pip</code> is missing too many dependencies, so I'm stuck with <code>easy_install</code>.</p>
