The 2.0 version of the Aerospike Python client is a major release: it adds support for Python 3. Therefore, the client software is now compatible with Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5. For those of you migrating your application from Python 2 to Python 3, there are a few key differences between the two versions to keep in mind as you work through porting the software to the next version.

Because of the non-backward compatible python and python3 issues, I am typically installing python2 as ‘python’ and python3 as ‘python3’. I am not using ‘virtualenv’ but I do have pip3 installed.
When I run ‘pip3 install aerospike’ ( as root ) I get the following:
