The Pi was originally installed with Python 2.7

To install python 3.4.2, I did the following:

sudo apt install python3; mkdir ~/bin; ln -s /usr/bin/python3
 ~/bin/python

which Python:

/home/pi/bin/python

To revert Python 2.7:

rm ~/bin/python

which Python

/usr/bin/python

If I am in Python 3.4.2:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python --version
Python 3.4.2

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip install progressbar2

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): progressbar2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/progressbar2-3.34.3-py2.7.egg
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): python-utils>=2.1.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_utils-2.2.0-py2.7.egg (from progressbar2)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): six in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from python-utils>=2.1.0->progressbar2)
Cleaning up...

The problem is progressbar2 is installed on Python 2.7.

How do I install progressbar2 for Python 3.4.2?

If the package is available in Raspbian you should use that repository in preference to the pip repository.

If you must use pip then use the pip3 command to install for Python 3.
