Logging module not working with Python3

I am having issues with the standard logging module. If I open a python2.7 shell and import logging everything works fine:

$ python
>>> import logging
>>>

But if I open a python3.4 shell and import logging I get the following error:

$ python3.4
>>> import logging
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2237, in _find_and_load

                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have no idea what the problem is and can’t seem to find anyone else who has had the same issue.

Answer

You seem to have installed a third party library called logging in your Python 3 environment, which is hiding the standard library version, and one of its files has a typo.
