You have installed html5lib as a library for Python 2.7.

Or possibly your Linux distribution has installed it.

Python 3 has its own set of libraries, and doesn't automatically use the
Python 2 libraries.

My guess is that if you installed html5lib using yum or apt-get, there will
be a similar command that will install the Python 3 version.
