'setuptools' module not contained in python 3.4?

Question

I was trying to import setuptools in Python3.4 as following,

>>> from setuptools import setup

But I got the ImportError: No module named 'setuptools'.

My current version of Python3.4 is Python 3.4.0b1 (default, Nov 29 2013, 16:37:17), and it is installed using MacPorts.

So there is no setuptools module contained in Python 3.4 Standard Library, right? and I need to install setuptools module through pip?

Update:

setuptools is not in the standard library. But I cannot install it through pip because pip need setuptools installed first. MacPorts contains py34-setuptools @2.0.2 port and I can install setuptools through it.

I think that setuptools are generally not in the standard lib ... — mgilson

setuptools has never been a part of the standard lib. You'll always to download it separately.

For 3.4, download setuptools - (This is the compressed download link!), extract it and install it via:

python setup.py install

You'll have to install it yourself. If you've got a completely empty environment in a new python installation, have a look at the official install instructions.

It works for me, but I'm using 3.4b2 on a Linux Mint system:

$ /usr/local/cpython-3.4/bin/python
Python 3.4.0b2 (default, Jan  5 2014, 13:53:24)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from setuptools import setup
>>>
