ImportError: No module named '_catboost'

Question

I am using python 3.4 and have installed catboost library but when i try to import, it shows the following error.

---

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

---> 18     from _catboost import _PoolBase, _CatBoostBase, CatboostError, 
_cv, _set_logger, _reset_logger
 19 except ImportError:

ImportError: No module named '_catboost'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
