I think easy_install supports multiple versions of python.

As general solution you can run easy_install with the version of Python you want to install to. 8 have actually installed easy_install for each version of Python by setuptools installation file for each Python version. Little better version of module installer called pip can also installed afterwards with easy_install.

easy install is itself a module how I'm going to install it into python 3.2

Windows look in environment variable(path) for python version.
http://www.windows7hacker.com/index.php/2010/05/how-to-addedit-environment-variables-in-windows-7/
To path you can add ;C:\python27\;C:\python27\scripts
Restart.
When you write pyhon in cmd python 2.7 will start.
Change to ;C:\python32\;C:\python32\scripts
Restart.
When you write pyhon in cmd python 3.2 will start.
This also mean that stuff get installed in python 3.2.
With the use of easy install or python module_name.py install

I don't usually work in windows, but it seems to me that you should first install the 'distribute' package using one of the installation methods described here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute#installation-instructions . Perhaps you must replace 'python' on the command line with 'python3', or the complete path to your python 3 executable. Then read distribute's documentation http://packages.python.org/distribute/ , especially the sections about easy_install and multiple versions of python. Again, after you install distribute, there will probably be an easy_install.exe in the 'scripts' folder of your python 3 installation. It may be sufficient to use this executable to easily install python 3 modules. If all this doesn't work, you can probably also use for most modules the traditional sequence - download source - run 'python setup.py install' in the module's source folder (replacing python with the path to your python 3 executable).

BeautifulSoup requires the sgmllib module, which has been removed in Python 3.

Have a look at this however https://bitbucket.org/outcomm/bs4 . I read about bs4 in the BeautifulSoup google group, which may be worth exploring as well http://groups.google.com/group/beautifulsoup . This is what the README says

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

== It works with Python 3 ==

Beautiful Soup 3.1.0 worked with Python 3, but the parser it used was
so bad that it barely worked at all. Beautiful Soup 4 works with
Python 3, and since its parser is pluggable, you don't sacrifice
quality.
