"ez_setup.py" syntax error

Question

I am trying to install easy_install by running ez_setup.py from command line (64bit windows machine) and getting a "Invalid Syntax" on the following line:

except pkg_resources.VersionConflict, e:

Python version 3.2.3

Any suggestions how to resolve this? Thanks

UPDATE: Sorry people, I am completely new to Python, now it is failing on this line:

print "Setuptools version",version,"or greater has been installed."

Print is now a function, so it needs parentheses. Like print ("Setuptools version",version,"or greater has been installed.") — Nathan Andrew Mullenax

I also had to change 'import urllib2, shutil' to 'import urllib, shutil'. But now it fails on 'File "D:\Python32\lib\distutils\log.py", line 30, in _log if stream.errors == 'strict': AttributeError: errors' Is there a version of this script for Python 3? Or should I just install an older version of python? — d1337

Distribute installation worked fine, now I just need to understand how to use it :/ Thanks! (Submit as answer so I could tag it?) — d1337

Change the comma to 'as'

I tried to get python 3.3 working on my x64 Windows 8 machine, and went through a couple of circles before finding the following method to load everything:

Go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
Install distribute from binary - ignore the deprecation warning at the front of the installer. Those unofficial binaries don't even have a "setuptools" download, and the projects don't seem to have been updated in years.
Install pip from binary. It didn't work for me in the first couple of attempts, something about pkg_resources, so I think distribute may have helped.

Now I have pip running and I can use it to install things.
