So, to keep it simple. Ubuntu 12.10 has python 3.2 pre installed and it is linked to “python3”. I downloaded python 3.3 and it’s command is “python3.3”. However, I downloaded pySide for python3 from synaptic. Using “from PySide.QtCore import *” fails on python3.3. BUT, when I ran just “python3” (aka 3.2) everything works fine. Synaptic just installed lib for python3.2 which is default for python3 in ubuntu. How can I force synaptic to install modules for python3.3?

Thanks

    Try working in a virtual environment with virtualenv. This will keep your python versions/packages separate from each other in case something goes wrong. Use pip to install PySide.

    EDIT:

    A possible solution is:

    ~$ sudo easy_install pip

    To install virtualenv,

    ~$ sudo pip install virtualenv

    The page for PySide on PyPi has a guide for different platforms on how to install pyqt with virtualenv. Best of luck.
