ImportError: No module named 'pymysql' in python 3.4.3

Question

In the Visual Studio 2013 PTVS environment the command

import pymysql

work fine.

In the interpreter it gives the error: ImportError: No module named 'pymysql' in python 3.4.3 The solutions in the other questions on this site refering to this problem do not solve it. sys.path is:

>>> print(sys.path)
['', 'C:\\SVN\\MyPrograms\\ELS Positions Database\\CSVImport\\CSVImport1\\"C:\\SVN\\MyPrograms\\ELS Positions Database\\CSVImport\\CSVImport1\\env\\Lib\\site-packages\\pymysql-0.6.6-py3.4.egg', '
:\\SVN\\MyPrograms\\ELS Positions Database\\CSVImport\\CSVImport1\\env\\Lib\\site-packages\\pymysql-0.6.6-py3.4.egg\\pymysql', 'C:\\SVN\\MyPrograms\\ELS Positions Database\\CSVImport\\CSVImport1\
env\\Lib\\site-packages"', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python34.zip', 'C:\\Python34\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python34\\lib', 'C:\\Python34', 'C:\\Python34\\lib\\site-packages']
>>>

PYTHONPATH is:

PYTHONPATH="C:\SVN\MyPrograms\ELS Positions Database\CSVImport\CSVImport1\env\Lib\site-packages\pymysql-0.6.6-py3.4.egg;C:\SVN\MyPrograms\ELS Positions Database\CSVImport\CSVImport1\env\Lib\site-
ackages\pymysql-0.6.6-py3.4.egg\pymysql;C:\SVN\MyPrograms\ELS Positions Database\CSVImport\CSVImport1\env\Lib\site-packages"

I suspect I am making some syntax error but cannot find where. Help appreciated.

Many thanks.

I'm not sure, but I think that VS uses the 2.7 version of python and you are trying to use that library from the 3.4 version, try installing 2.7.

Or let me know what happen when you type import pymysql in the interpreter.
