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.
