I'm trying to retrieve the mechanize module for python 3.4. Can anybody guide me in the right direction and perhaps walk me through the steps that I would need to take in order to make the correct installation? I'm currently using Windows 10.

unfortunately mechanize only works with Python 2.4, Python 2.5, Python 2.6, and Python 2.7.

The good news is there are other projects you can take a look at: RoboBrowser, MechanicalSoup

There are more alternatives in this thread as well: Are there any alternatives to Mechanize in Python?.
