Will setuptools work with python 3.2.x

Will the setuptools for windows python 2.7 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#files be compatible with a python 3.2.x runtime. The installer fails to detect the python settings during an install. Should I wait for a new release?

NOTE: Answer obsolete, Setuptools now works for Python 3. Distribute is deprecated.

Setuptools itself doesn't work on Python 3. But you can use Distribute, a fork and a drop in replacement for setuptools:

http://packages.python.org/distribute/

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute

From the bottom of the page to install distribute:

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
python distribute_setup.py
