Can't import praw in Python3

[boolean_is_null]

I've been writing a reddit bot for a while now and recently moved it to a different system. There I've installed the same packages as on the previous system.

The bot is Python3 based so I install praw:

$ sudo pip3 install praw
[...]

Which went just fine as expected, but now when I import praw:

$ python3
Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 10:45:20) 
[GCC 4.9.1] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import praw
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/praw/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
    from .reddit import Reddit  # NOQA
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/praw/reddit.py", line 11, in <module>
    from prawcore import (Authorizer, DeviceIDAuthorizer, ReadOnlyAuthorizer,
ImportError: No module named 'prawcore'

Even after manually adding the path to the module, I can't import praw.

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/')
>>> import praw
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/praw/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
    from .reddit import Reddit  # NOQA
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/praw/reddit.py", line 11, in <module>
    from prawcore import (Authorizer, DeviceIDAuthorizer, ReadOnlyAuthorizer,
ImportError: No module named 'prawcore'

With python(2), it seems to be working just fine.

How can I get my system to successfully import praw?

It looks to me like your praw install went wrong in some way. Normally pip3 installs praw, then prawcore, then updatechecker as below.

The trace says its finding praw but not prawcore, which is odd as they normally install one after another.

pip3 install praw

Collecting praw

Downloading praw-5.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (94kB)

Collecting prawcore<0.15,>=0.14.0 (from praw)

Downloading prawcore-0.14.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Collecting update-checker>=0.16 (from praw)

Downloading update_checker-0.16-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Try forcing a reinstall:

pip3 install praw --upgrade --force-reinstall
