I installed fuzzywuzzy with pip for python3. When I do pip list I see 

fuzzywuzzy (0.8.1)

However when I try to import is I get an error.

Python 3.4.0 (default, Jun 19 2015, 14:20:21)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux 
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import fuzzywuzzy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'fuzzywuzzy'
>>>

Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Are you sure you ran pip3 and not just pip? The latter only installs Python 2 packages.
