Using osx 10.4.11 - Is there a way to install Python 3.4.2/pip3?

Is there some way via MacPorts, etc. Currently have 3.2 up & running.

According to macports.org it should be available. Try:

$ port search python

If it lists python34, you can install it using:

$ port install python34

pip3 should install automatically with python34

Unlike homebrew, Macports requires admin privilege to install ports, sudo is needed in the install command.
