Install pip<v8 in python3.2

Question

I fail to install pip in python3.2. The newest version of pip (v8.x) seems to not support python3.2 any more.

So i tried: sudo python3 get-pip.py 'pip<8' but it still seems to install v8.x.

Output:

UserWarning: Support for Python 3.0-3.2 has been dropped. Future versions will fail here.

Any ideas?

I found the solution:

I used the wrong get-pip, as per documentation of get-pip

use https://bootstrap.pypa.io/3.2/get-pip.py
