install python module for certain python binary












0















I am using ubuntu 16.04 and have installed python2 and python3. Default is python2.



I am trying to install a python module (mapscript) with this command



sudo apt-get install python-mapscript


because for some unknown reason I cannot use pip to install it (either in or outside of a virtual environment).



using apt-get the module is succesfully installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ but not in python3/dist-packages.



In my project I use python3.



Is there any way to apt-get install a python module for python3 explicitly? Module is supposedly compatible with python3.

          Python module installed from apt are usually named python3-xxx, but for some reason, there is no python3-mapscript.



          If you cannot install this module over pip, I can suggest you to try to make your own python deb package, you may find many tutorial on internet to achieve this.
