Hi,
I was installing tests/requirement/py3.txt as stated in django docs for
contribution [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/contributing/]

It was written that run
{{{
pip install -r py3.txt
}}}

i am running same on my mac OS but it always show problems in installing
`pylibmc` and `libmemcached ` to fix that i ran
{{{
brew install libmemcached
pip3 install -r py3.txt
}}}

because there was some python3 dependencies in it

so think that should be mentioned in docs that if its not installed by
`pip` then try using `pip3`

Comment:

It looks like your virtualenv wasn't activated when you ran `pip install
...`.

Comment:

I've run into this bug as well, and I definitely am in my py3 virtualenv.

{{{
(django) SensitiveDependence:django phildini$ which python3
/Users/phildini/.virtualenvs/django/bin/python3
}}}

I was coming here to see if I should file a bug and found this one. I note
that we already call out windows in the `requirements/py3.txt` file, so it
feels like there's precedent for special-casing OS's.

Is the correct approach here to update the docs, or skip these tests on
mac, or do nothing?

Comment:

I'm not a mac OS user so I can't say for sure what the issue is here. What
does "it always show problems in installing pylibmc and libmemcached"
mean? My guess is that the equivalent of `libmemcached-dev` (Debian
package) isn't installed. ([https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9070218
/error-when-trying-to-install-pylibmc-on-mac-osx-lion related
StackOverflow]). I think it's not Django's job to document the
requirements of third-party packages. I'd rather enhance
[http://sendapatch.se/projects/pylibmc/install.html pylibmc's install
instructions] if needed.

Feel free to propose some patch for Django's docs if my analysis isn't
correct.
