I'm trying to install a python module called ciscoconfparse on Linux Mint 17. When I install it with pip with python 2, all works well when I try to import, but when I try it with pip3 (for Python 3.4), the module shows up in the install directory, but I can't import any parts of it.
I can find the module here
/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/ciscoconfparse-1.1.1-py3.4.egg/ciscoconfparse
Inside this directory is the ciscoconfparse.py file, which has the CiscoConfParse class, but I can't import it with
from ciscoconfparse import CiscoConfParse
When I try to install, it looks like there is a few problems, but still says it has sucessfuly installed.

On the authors site, he says that it has been tested to work on Python > 3.2. I'm using Pycharm as an ide. So far it seems like I can either use a virtual environment with python3 and see if that changes anything, or I can drop the module into the module I'm making. Is there any reason the install may not be working? Or else what is the best way to include the module with my own project?

ciscoconfparse version 1.1.1 failed in all Python3 versions due to broken relative imports.
Relative imports broke due to lack of compliance with PEP 366 in ciscoconfparse version 1.1.1 (and prior); to resolve this, ciscoconfparse added a __main__.py in the package. I manually tested this against Python2.7 and Python3.4.1; as far as I can tell, version 1.1.2 fixes the issues with Python3.
