Answer 3

PyPDF2 is compatible with Python 3.4, so that's not the problem.

In which Python version do you have pip installed? Even though you're on python34, if pip is installed to a different version it will download libraries to that version.

In any case, you can always install by downloading from PyPI, then running setup.py install.

Still, the only possible explanation I have is that the current Python version you're on does not have PyPDF2 installed. See if you can import PyPDF2 from any of the other versions.
