Yes, usually.  It will depend on how the distro deals with allowing 
multiple python installations, but typically pip3 will be the pip for 
whatever the current python3 alternative is set to.  If it allows more 
than one python 3.x to be installed then you may have something like 
pip3.3 and pip3.4 instead.

Actually I mistyped my suggestion in the earlier message.  It should 
have been:

     python -m pip install -U pip

The "-m module" tells python to find the module the same way that ain 
import statement would find it, but run it as if you did "python 
/path/to/module.py"  That said, it wouldn't be needed in this case 
anywhere but on Windows because it is the only platform where there will 
be a pip.exe (instead of a pip script with a #! pointing to Python) and 
is also the only platform that will not let you overwrite an executable 
that is currently being run.

Yet another reason to use the Python virtualenv tool.  You can create a 
virtual environment with the system installed Python, and then update 
pip and other packages to the latest versions without fear of confusing 
your system at all.
