How to install requests module for Python 3.2 by using pip install?

How to install requests module for Python 3.2 by using pip install?

I have Ubuntu 12.04 with Python 2.7 and 3.2
Following this page I installed requests module.
$ sudo pip install requests
However, it only works for Python 2 but not Python 3:
$ python
Python 3.2.3 (default, Apr 10 2013, 06:11:55)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import requests
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named requests
>>>
How should I install the requests module so it can work for both my Python
versions?
Edit: I figured it out by following various answers from here. The answer
is I have to have pip-3.2 installed first. I am not sure all steps are
necessary though:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
$ sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
$ sudo python3 -m easy_install pip
...
Installing pip script to /usr/local/bin
Installing pip-3.2 script to /usr/local/bin
..
Now I get pip-3.2:
$ sudo pip-3.2 install requests
