Installing springpython with pip3.6?

I wanted to try out springpython because JDBCTemplates from Spring felt right in the past and I saw that there are DatabaseTemplates for Spring Python.

Below is what I tried in a Bash console with no luck. Could anyone educate me why I'm getting a message that Spring Python only support Python 2.6 or higher when I'm calling pip3.6?

Thanks in advance!

Update -- the command below works -- my current operating theory is maybe there isn't a Spring Python for python 3?? I'm a python newbie here, so that is just an idea, don't take it as gospel.

 ~ $pip2.6 install --user springpython

You are right, spring python, the library you are trying to install, only supports python2.6 / python2.7, and not python3 (you should probably install to 2.7 not 2.6 though)
