Python 3 PIP error: "importlib.util module does not exist"

When doing pip install blended to do a local build of https://github.com/ArtOfIllusion/AOI-website I got the above error. (thanks for the contribution, BTW!)

I was able to replicate the error by running pip install importlib. I'm on arch, so my default python package is python 3. I've done some poking around, and found that the importlib module seems to be intended for use with python 2.x only?

I was able to install a secondary package for python 2.7, and was able to successfully install and run blended with that. However, since the blended website states that blended is for use with both python 2 & 3, I thought I'd drop a line here, just in case I'm missing something.

I use Python 3 to develop and Python 2 to test so this is wierd. Try installing the previous version.

Blended 3.3 does install cleanly in my python 3 environment, and runs correctly as well.

Exact python tool versions as of this moment, all arch packages up to date.:

python 3.6.0
pip 9.0.1
