having problems when importing PRAW

So im trying to run an RSS bot for reddit and i get this i have installed PRAW via pip install --user praw. I am a basic user and haven't really messed with python.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/*USER*/RSS/RSSBot.py", line 6, in <module>
    import praw
ImportError: No module named 'praw'

Are you running the same version of Python as the one you installed praw into?

So i guess i am using Python 2.7.6. So i guess i need to move to 3.4 then reinstall PRAW??

doesn't praw work on 2.7??

One of those isn't true. Either you didn't move to 3.5 or you didn't install praw for 3.5. How did you try to do each of those things?

I think i got it work.

I changed the python on a virtualenv to 3.5 then had it open the .py from that user i created. Its loading great now im running into bot problems.
