django uses python 2.6 instead of python 3.3

Question

Hi I am using Mac OS (SnowLeopard). I have python installed by default which I guess is 2.6. I installed python 3.3 from the python server and now installed django also. I created a django project using STARTPROJECT and tried to run it using manage.py runserver.

I get errors, but from the error its evident that the python getting used still is 2.6 How to change this?

The error is as

Unhandled exception in thread started by <bound method Command.inner_run of <django.contrib.staticfiles.management.commands.runserver.Command object at 0x10169aed0>>
Traceback (most recent call last):

Are you sure that pip is installed for python3.3, and that it is actually using python3? — Roland Smith, Jul 27 '13 at 12:28
@RolandSmith pip is installed for python2.6 I guess. How to change and install for python3.3? — Geo Paul, Jul 27 '13 at 12:29
