python3 cannot load qrcode module

Question

I have installed qrcode package as pip install pyqrcode

Then when I open a python2.x shell and import it there, no errors are given. But when I open a python3 shell and try to import it there it says

ImportError: No module named 'qrcode'

I import it as import qrcode

When I installed the package with pip it says Downloading PyQRCode-1.2.tar.gz, meaning that it is installing the last version. But in pypi it says that it also support python3.

What's the correct way to import it?

From the [documentation](http://pythonhosted.org/PyQRCode/#usage), you should do `import pyqrcode`. — dazedconfused, Jun 16 '16 at 10:27
@dazedconfused it says again that `No module named 'pyqrcode' ` — user3764893, Jun 16 '16 at 10:29
Then I think you don't have `pyqrcode` installed successfully — dazedconfused, Jun 16 '16 at 10:33

You need to download a separate package for python 3. pip3 install pyqrcode

Then you can access it. Of course you will need to install pip3 first if you don't have it.
