Is already answered here: google.com/… get-pip.py isn't supported by python3, us distribute. — rfkortekaas
@rfkortekaas: That information in years out of date. distribute no longer even exists. — abarnert
Sorry I meant setuptools. But the information there is old but still valid! — rfkortekaas
Why were you using Python 3.0 in 2015? (Or, really, ever? Even most of the core devs found it too broken to use, and suggested anyone who wasn't interested in actually developing Python itself should wait for 3.1.) — abarnert
I don't know where you downloaded it from, but if you go to python.org, the download link there will always have the latest stable versions (3.4.3 and 2.7.9, at present), and, further down, all releases still in support (which goes back to the last few 3.3 and 2.6 versions, at present). Downloading from somewhere else, who knows what you'll get. — abarnert

As the docs say:

pip works with CPython versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and also pypy.

Notice that 3.0 is not included.

In fact, very little works with 3.0. There are many, many things that don't work, or work badly, with 3.0, and there's basically no support for it.

The easy fix here is to upgrade to 3.2 or later—especially if you can upgrade to 3.4, which includes a pip bootstrap out of the box.
