When this has come up on Stackoverflow, the answer has been that the 
person is using a *nix system, such as Mac OSX, has 2.7 installed with 
the system, and separately has installed 3.4.  They download and install 
xyz for 3.4, run 3.4, type 'import xyz', and it works.  Then they run 
'IDLE', but it turns out that they are running IDLE with 2.7, not 3.4, 
and xyz is not installed for 2.7.  I suspect something like this applies 
to your case.
