No package installer with python 3.3?

easy-install, macos, pip, python-3.x

Solution

Distribute supplies an installer script, `distribute_setup.py`. So, on Unix-y systems with curl, you can use the following commands:

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
python3.3 distribute_setup.py
easy_install pip    # easy_install is part of distribute

If you don't have curl, download the script another way and run the other two commands.

Problem

I just downloaded installed python 3.3 for Mac OS. I used the standard package from python.org I found no package installing tool in python 3.3. No pip, easy_install, setuptools. Looks like a boot strap problem: how can I install a package-installing-package without a package-installing-package? I'm I missing something obvious? Or do I need to take further steps in order to have a package installer?
